How did you feel when you first achieved lift off? ( Successful )

[Chrissssyx]

Tonight I achieved my first successful lift off in KSP, I was so happy.

Although I was still in the atmosphere I managed to make some distance and am very proud.

How did you feel when you first got lift off?

EDIT: Title, sorry for lack of clarification.

First lift off, or first successful liftoff? Because I ended up spinning off wildly and exploding a few seconds later.

'Holy crap, is this thing actually gonna work?!' Two minutes later... 'Nope.'

Hrm........I don\'t remember.

I do remember two noob mistakes I made.

1. I thought that RCS fuel tanks were necessary for solid boosters like liquid Engines/boosters.

2. I didn\'t realize that you could pilot the rocket with WASD.

Understandably, most of my early rockets didn\'t get very far.

I think my first launch went right into the tower.

my first launch went off fine, it just exploded on landing, it was a capsule stuck on a SRB. my second launch swerved into the tower, but my third was pretty good, got out of atmosphere and underestimated the game (alot) so I aimed straight for mun ;P

My first launch was well... rather uneventful... i remember throttling up to 100% and pressing the 'staging' button on my joystick.

My rocket only had 3 engines so it didn\'t have too much thrust...

I built it WAY too tall and in my excitement to achieve liftoff...

I went absolutely no where...

Slightly confused i thought my engines didn\'t fire...

I staged again just to watch my bottom stage liftoff into my rocket and destroy it as i started to achieve liftoff creating a massive explosion on the launch pad...

I would have to say it was a bag of mixed feelings...

Epic, Depressing, Hilarious and Confusing all wrapped up in one small package... Truly... Amazing!

My first rocket was too wide, broke a chunk off on the tower, and the rest went spiraling into the ground.

My first rocket was a huge cylinder of layers of solid boosters. Before I knew how to use the symmetry tool. Needless to say centrifugal force took over, my rocket broke apart under its own spinning inertia, and 3 Kerbals lost their lives that day.

My first rocket reached 40km before it ran out of fuel, the next reached 70km, the next 75. I named all my rockets after how high they went until I discovered how to orbit.

My first rockets were based on the tutorial, though so they weren\'t overly-ambitious.

- It was a short and quick nerdgazam back in the 0.11.x.. Pod with 3 RCS tanks on top a SRB... Felt better than my 1st Mun landing.. Dunno why..

Great! I then closed the game to download 6 million different mods cuz i wanted more lol

My first rocket was very small and easy to keep upright, so my first lift off went fine. I got maybe 85km on my first liftoff.
