The only biffed landings I can remember recently were the two that lost an engine on the way up, and one ended up missing because of bad wind data being uploaded to the booster on its way back down.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_Heavy_launches (81, 83, 108)
The rough seas one was Arabsat 6A Falcon Heavy. The center core landed, but the octograbber wasn't configured for the Falcon Heavy core yet (it's different than the Falcon 9 Solo/Side booster config). So it tipped over from rough seas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_Heavy_launches_(2010–2019) (FH2). Every other Falcon Heavy launch either failed landing or intentionally expended the center. (First test flight had insufficient Tea-Teb), and the STP-2 mission had a heatshield burn through that damaged the TVC.
As far as I know, that booster (1055) is the only one that landed successfully and then was lost during the recovery process.I believe the only other Block 5 landing failure was B1050, which had a gridfin get stuck on descent and soft landed in the water just offshore. I mean, it landed... just not where it was supposed to.

I also play Among Us. Yes, I know, the dead, cringe, meme game. But it's still a lot of fun to play.
Only part that matters. Don't let anyone, especially the internet at large, let you think it's not ok to play a game you like.
I've been putting what can only described as an unhealthy amount of time into Oxygen Not Included.

This is stuck so bad I'm actually having trouble falling asleep because it won't stop. Someone else take it, please.

Banned for enjoying Team Fortress 2.
Also, friendly reminder to please not post excessive amounts of whitespace. It just causes disruptions and can cause issues for mobile users.

Sometimes you gotta play KSP even when you're not playing KSP.

Tried a new restaurant today. Chicken tender place. Had high hopes because it was very similar to Zaxby's (which is practically next door).
They straight up forgot to make 2/3rds of our order and we had to point it out to them. We were the only ones there.Good thing Zaxby's is right next door...

I thought I had read as much - So I had to be sure it was not that he ment. So far I have also had plenty of joy in telling of my successes and failures in my "blog" about building two refueling stations - Although I have halted that project until further notice... A bug with collision had me revert to a previous save as my vehicle just plowed through the station and made the parts fly left and right. Its hard to dock parts if the part you are docking to is not firm.
Fan fic/mission reports/stories are not only welcome, but encouraged.
What you may have seen is that roleplaying has been forbidden from the forums.

Spent a good portion of the night playing Mars First Logistics. Neat little game. Just came out. Feels like a mix of KSP + World Of Contraptions with the look of Cel Damage.
The second one is me flying off a cliff while delivering a pizza the size of a dinner table.

Confirmed, catastrophic implosion. https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2023/06/19/search-is-underway-for-missing-submersible-that-takes-people-to-see-titanic
QuoteOfficials said that several major pieces of debris were discovered, including the vessel's nose cone. Mauger also said the debris discovered was "consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel."

Bad day so it's a Foxes kind of night, but this particular song has been stuck in my head for a few days now. Catchy cadence.

Yup
TUBM has (or at one point had) an original GameBoy

One of these was rumored to be Blue Origin customer Hamish Harding who flew to space last year
I can't help but keep thinking that if this doesn't end with a happy ending, there will be talks of the New Shepard curse, considering Glen M. de Vries in Nov 2021.
I can't imagine many situations where this ends happily.

You can collapse the KSP2 sections, and then only pop them open occasionally when you want to check.

Absolutely
TUBM legit uses the abort button in KSP

Moved to Kerbal Network since it's about the forum, and not the game itself.

Never been to Texas.

Had a bit of an "Oh, huh" moment.
Today I learned that the space shuttle fired its forward nose RCS thrusters during booster separation to protect the windshield from the booster separation motor exhaust. With all I've watched/read on the shuttle, surprised I'd never heard of this before.

AP is the highest point in your orbit.
PE is the lowest.
If you're at AP and raising your PE to circularize, and the PE gets higher than the AP (even if it's just a tiny fraction of a meter), then it's no longer the lowest point. It's now the highest, and your AP becomes the lowest, so they switch.
