Are there any current rocket systems that go to the Karman line with just 1 stage? What are the altitudes of the rockets separating at various altitudes of the atmosphere. Would the helium balloon launches make it up to 100 km?

          It depends on your definition of a stage. Soyuz' boosters cut off and separate at ~40km, but the core stage cuts off well above the Karman line, around 175km altitude. This article refers to the boosters as "first stage" and the core as "second stage" despite the fact that the core starts burning at liftoff.



          Single-stick launchers like Falcon 9 and Atlas V typically separate first stage at 60-80km altitude.

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
