Worst way to ruin Jeb's Monday

[imaspacestation]

What do you guys imagine would be the worst way to ruin Jeb's typical Monday at the KSC?

I think coming up to the launchpad and finding the pod empty of all electrical charge would make him pretty upset.

[annallia]

I would say the only way to ruin his typical monday would be for the rocket to work...

[MoeKitsune]

Not being able to fly in a rocket. He'll probably sneak on one anyway.

[-ELF-]

Arriving 10 minutes later than always to the KSC, and seeing the rocket taking off already, without him...

[Moh1336]

I crashed him and his helicopter into a mountain earlier. I think that'd probably do it. A 65km walk back to base

"Sorry Jeb, kerballed rockets are just too expensive. To save funds, we're going to launch only probes from now on!"

[Col_Jessep]

Hit and destroy the VAB and SPH with your boosters.

Jeb receives a memo from the HR department 5 minutes before his scheduled mission to see if aerobraking is possible on Eeloo after all...

"Commander Jebediah Kerman is to report to Accounts Outgoing immediately. There has been a Code 11 'aberrant exponential digression of federal budgetary funds' into an unrecognised Bank of Bop offworld account."

Later, Jeb wondered if the handwriting in the memo looked suspiciously similar to Bob Kerman's. He wondered this from his cell.

Jeb, getting up on a Monday - walking to the pad - only to see the Rocket has just blasted off. That might ruin his Monday.

[oriramikad]

Staging mishap on launchpad. All the boosters fall off. And the remaining engine doesn't have enough TWR to lift off. Heheheheh.

[rofltehcat]

Sunday evening, mission time t+4d20h10m: "Okay Jeb. Good work today! You're bound for Kerbin, optimal reentry trajectory, fuel reserves minimal, optimal reentry weight! Time to catch some sleep. We'll contact you again tomorrow for the final portion of your trip." - "Affirmative, see you tomorrow on solid ground!"

<quicksafe>

Monday: "Hey Jeb, I hope you slept well. Listen, we got a problem: Our scientists were shocked to find out this morning that the universe's physics seem to have switched. The air feels thinner so we're not sure you are packing enough parachutes. And somehow heat doesn't work the same way either, we've had a lot of koffee-scorched tongues down here. Anyways... you're coming in FAST and VERY HOT. Good luck."

[Benji]

Jeb not finding the "Modding Monday: ..." for this week.

[justidutch]

Snack dispenser reads: "out of order..."

[SkyRender]

One fine Monday morning, Jeb arrived at the Kerbal Space Center to discover that there were no rockets to launch. Funds had become so depleted that they'd started building lamp posts instead of rockets, as that was far more profitable. He was not amused, and there were an awful lot of broken lamp posts by the time he was done. And so the short-lived Kerbal Streetlamp Program came to an abrupt and shrapnel-covered end.

Tell him it's Friday.

[imaspacestation]

Tell him it's Friday.

Haha, clever

[KrazyKrl]

I'll just leave this here:

[worir4]

If he gets measles before the flight, If you get the reference.

[Randazzo]

[Mat2ch]

Staging error, deploying chutes with the main engine starting. Ruins my day everytime, too...

[John FX]

To have him successfully go on a mission and for nothing to go wrong, his Monday will not be ruined at all. That would be the worst way to attempt to ruin his Monday...

[guitarxe]

To have him successfully go on a mission and for nothing to go wrong, his Monday will not be ruined at all. That would be the worst way to attempt to ruin his Monday...

Well, considering Jeb's personality, nothing going wrong might actually ruin his Monday indeed...

"Sorry Jeb, kerballed rockets are just too expensive. To save funds, we're going to launch only probes from now on!"

You are too cruel!

I'll just leave this here:

What's next? Massive memorials made out of rocket parts for fallen Kerbals?!

What's next? Massive memorials made out of rocket parts for fallen Kerbals?!

Now that's a fine idea for my next game!

[Camaron]

Rain delays his rocket. Then it spontaneously explodes without him.
