I'm curious what your take on the logistics of exploring an alien world alone is (a la Metroid, or Subnautica)

Well, ackchyually... when you fire a rocket (at least a RPG/bazooka style one), you feel almost zero kickback no matter where you are, as the forward movement of the rocket is balanced by the backward movement of exhaust gases (or some other mass, in case of recoilless rifles). Unless something goes horribly wrong, of course 8)
