Quite an event

This is RocketDyne F-1 Engine, quite a jaw-dropping description

This is what I've decided to put together after a lot of study and engineering.

It's an array of 64 F-1 Engines, allowing me to put a payload of over 600 tons into orbit

During launch, I realized that 3 engines failed, they just simply do not ignite.

I checked the gimbal, trajectory, angle, speed... it was still all good despite 3 engines failing to ignite, so I thought I'd be ok

However...

Around 2 minutes after launch, I realized that the 3 engines that failed to ignite were causing an unbalanced distribution of fuel

Which meant some engines would run out of fuel before others

At 3 mins flight... all engines on the left side ran out of fuel. With only the right-side engines thrusting, it started heavily pushing the whole rocket offcourse

The stress in the fuselage made the second stage decoupler to fail, causing a part of the thrusting engine from the first stage to break away and accelerate 2x faster than the rocket, colliding with the second stage like a missile

That caused the second stage fuel tank to explode with over 5 million liters of fuel

Which caused a catastrophic explosion that divided the whole rocket into 5 or 6 smaller rockets which flew into different directions

One of the loose rockets flew straight into the command module, killing all 3 astronauts onboard.

The fallout was over populated cities, killing hundreds.

3.2 billion dollars disappeared in a fraction of a second.
