Signs You're In For a Short Flight

[Mr Cord]

637) Spending hours getting a fragile Mun Rover onto the surface in one piece. Then this.....

TRANSMISSION START

Bill: Velocity 20m/s, need to slow down, its a bit unstable.

Jeb: I know what I\'m doing. Watch this....

WARNING... HANDBRAKE ENGAGED!!!!

....

....

....

TRANSMISSION LOST....

[Guard13007]

638) 'Hey Munny, is that our engine over there?'

- 'I don\'t know, let me go check.'

- It was.

639) Going down the runway at 150 m/s. Why isn\'t it lifting off?

640) Final approach is at 500 m/s.

[Kersplattle]

How about when at 10 metres up and descending nicely to Mun, in your haste to make a small correction in heading you hit G instead of F and your gear smoothly retracts just as you hit....

[Braun]

642) Still trying to get a spaceplane into flight with 3 gears

643) said plane still does barrel rolls at the speed of sound instead of rolling straight

[Ziff]

644) Separating a stage during your gravity turn before noticing that the angle will cause your decoupled part to knock an engine off.

645) Realizing that you used struts to tie all your radial stages together, but failed to tie those to the center main tank that has a vectored engine... at 5km.

646) Your lander explodes for no reason while you\'re doing your burn to get into orbit.

[Rocketscience101]

647) You hit space to release your SRBs and you realize they aren\'t attached to the decouplers.

648) In testing your lander on Kerbin, you hit the ground clamp with an open landing leg and spin out of control

[Kaufman]

649) You decouple before throttling back your engine in your initial insertion turn, causing a rather wild loop. (Guilty)

650) You know exactly where you will land with your \'chute open without even looking at your map.

[Nooblet68]

651) A large explosion

[Sem_oki]

652) When the tail of your spaceplane explodes on lift-off and you are still sure that you can land with it

P.S.: All those sentences should go on the form of 'tips' on the loading screen.

[Cilph]

653) You realise midflight that you had symmetry off when connecting fuel lines in an upper stage.

654) Your decouplers activate in the wrong order.

[leopardenthusiast]

655) Two of your three radial engines explode and you spin out of control.

True story.

[Guard13007]

656) During braking after landing your new airliner, you accidentally hit G instead of B. (This just happened to me! D:)

[TheDarkOne]

657: You accidentally EVA someone at the start of vertical descent and the craft bends 45 degrees to the side.

658: You press shift instead of ctrl and kill your only Kerbal on impact with your spacecraft.

659: Your decoupler fails during an orbital burn while the thruster is going.

660: You notice that part of your rocket is so wide that it intersects with the launch tower before launch,

661: You decouple before your SRBs have finished.

662: The rocket starts spinning uncontrollably even though you have ASAS and RCS on

663: The rocket lifts off, half still on the launchpad

664: Your spacestation carrier tilts to the side unless you use RCS, and you are on your last tank.

665: Your upper stages have enough fuel to get you to orbit, but they can\'t do it fast enough and you fall to the ground before your periapsis is out of the atmosphere

666: Your try to make your rocket start really high with the launch stabilizers and end up in Nullspace ( http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=16836.0 )

[D3matt]

667: No matter how many launch stabilizers and struts you use, your entire rocket falls apart an explodes as soon as physics kicks in.

668: After your SRBs burn out, your rocket starts to accelerate... Downwards...

669: And your parachute rips off during said downward acceleration.

700: You realize after igniting your main launch stage that your launch stabilizers are in the same stage as your orbit-stage decouplers...

701: And you continue with the launch anyway.

[gabmaia]

702: When 20% of your rocket weight are struts

[Guard13007]

703: When your rocket keeps getting bigger and you aren't going any farther.

[kodemunkey]

704: When you have a parachute deploy on your spaceplane at the same time that your engines are spooled up to maximum.

[caba111]

705: When you mix up the fuel tank icons on the staging bar, and decouple your half-full boosters into the rest of your ship.

706: When you turn on warp for that long trip to the Mun, get a drink, come back, and realize that you set the warp a bit too high, and are now orbiting the sun.

[TheDarkStar]

707: When you realize that you decoupled all your parachutes.

708: When you realize that part of your rocket just hit the launch tower.

709: When the engines your upper stages fire and overheat the lower ones.

[Maxed-Rockets]

710: When half your rocket explodes and you accidentally launch anyways.

[Rage Baneblade]

711) When your SSTO flight plan includes a mandatory nosedive at 35km due to loss of control.

712) When you do this dive twice on a single flight.

713) When upon taking off, you plane suddenly gets smaller.....

[Werwolf]

557) You point your SRB\'s over your tail control surfaces in an attempt to increase your control surface authority.

LOL..... Guilty!!
