Destroy a Space Mission

The rescue mission crash lands and loses its engine. And only it's engine.

i launch a rescue mission to rescue the rescue mission. And Burberry, of course.

The rescue mission safely lands and rescues Burberry. Burberry then takes over the controls and crashes it into the side of a mountain.

[kerbiloid]

The rescue team starts climbing up to make a signal fire.

But happily that blimp, still floating in the Duna atmosphere, drifts to this mountain, and the rescue team gets aboard,

[TheKSPBeginner]

And then the Black Hole On Duna appears and scares your crew to death.

I launch a Flat Earther into space.

[Confused Scientist]

While the spacecraft's in orbit, the solar eclipse happens, and the Flat Earther takes this to be an omen that he is about to go sane so he blows himself out of the airlock. Of course, that may be considered a success.

I use a rover to drive from the runway to the Astronaut Complex. This, of course, takes much longer than flying to the Mun. But tell me, what can go wrong?

[kerbiloid]

The previous poster's spaceship with a "Flat Earther" (Flat Kerbiner?) can't reach the orbit because the Planet is flat, falls down on the Astronaut Complex and crashes it.
Your journey is now endless.

A shockwave throws a Kerbal to orbit.

[53miner53]

It becomes very hot in the Kerbal's spacesuit. The kerbal than disintegrates.

I launch a space shuttle to orbit with a memorial to the shockwave kerbal.

[Joseph Kerman]

RUD.

I launch 5 Dassault Rafales into a suborbital trajectory to get to Northern Klathu.

[RoadRunnerAerospace]

You realize that they have no re-entry shielding, and they then proceed to vaporize due to superheated molecules.... 

Bad life choices man!

I do a semi-routine minmas mission with ion engines

[kerbiloid]

Ten years later you've realized that Minmas is a moon in another star system, and you should input Minmus calculating your flightplan.
So, you had done a wrong turn and now need 30 years more to return back with ion engines.

Sending a rescue mission to you. They are powered with a solar sail.

[YNM]

Unfortunately the solar sail rig was set loose due to a micrometeoroid impact. The sail is now tangled and projected to arrive a century later of the rendezvous time.

I shoot a laser to read the rotation speed of a close-passing asteroid, to determine was it the culprit of the meteoroid impact.

[kerbiloid]

It wasn't an asteroid. It was an extraterrestrial spaceship sent to us to evacuate the Earth before a catastrophic Sun plasma eruption.

They consider your laser shot as an attack and retire.

 

A cloud of hot plasma starts moving towards the Earth.

[Benjamin Kerman]

I shoot a giant magnet at it, to draw the plasma away. (Its paramagnetic, right?)

I develop a new engine!

[53miner53]

It explodes. (What did you expect from this thread?) 

I launch a space shuttle to redirect an asteroid that's on a collision course with the planet.

[kerbiloid]

Your space shuttle successfully redirects the asteroid from the collision course.

(What's failed?
Expectations.)

[Joseph Kerman]

The Shuttle ran out of fuel.

I launch an ICBM to defend against a Venator-class Star Destroyer that looms over Russia.

[kerbiloid]

Star Destroyer was just a penaid decoy. You get hit by an SLBM.

[HansonKerman]

It turns out it's made of Sepatrons.

I am making a Kerbin Station replica...

 

 

[kerbiloid]

But there are no trains in KSP.

I start pushin Kerbin to Laythe.

 

[Nivee~]

The gravitational disturbances on Kerbin leads to widespread death and destruction. And yes, KSC is also destroyed.

I send a Krewed Interstellar mission, powered by Karborundum that I mined on Eeloo.

[RealKerbal3x]

You don’t have Karborundum installed so your ship disappears.

After finding a monolith on the Moon, I send an AI-controlled ship to Jupiter to find another monolith.

[kerbiloid]

The monolith takes AI under control and sends it back to you.

I hail monolith.

[HansonKerman]

The hail explodes the monolith. It turns out the hail was made of bombs so you explode too.

I am making a routine Mun mission...

[RealKerbal3x]

.....but it lands 1m/s too fast, destroying the engine and stranding the Kerbals on the Mun.

NASA is launching JWST....

[kerbiloid]

... but there is no more shuttle to deliver a corrective lens.

They send a cargo ship with software updates for ISS.

[Kerbinchaser]

The blue screen of death appears on all software and it corrupts the craft's guidance computers, sending it on a expensive but beautiful trip through the atmosphere and into the Pacific Ocean. 

I launch a satellite into LEO.
