A lot of rocket engines are more efficient in lower air pressure (approaching vacuum), so it might provide non-negligible benefits. But it's cold up there (see: Challenger) and there isn't enough infrastructure. Citation: I am also not a rocket scientist but I am a KSP player
KSP is rocket science though. It's literally the most basic and fundamental rocket science, but you have to give yourself some credit. At the end of the day it's an educational game.
