You know your rockets are REALLY big when...

[something]

when your 1st stages impact on Kerbin causes a tsunami that wipes out the KSC.

 

when you measure thrust in multiples of Krakatoa

Where was this in?

 

Your rocket is really big when you can't see the payload when 1/4 of the rocket is in the floor.

[0111narwhalz]

When you realize that it'd be easier to launch the entire industrial base needed to build your rocket from asteroids than it is to launch the rocket itself.

[Benjamin Kerman]

When the launchpad repair/rocket cost is less then 1%

[kerbiloid]

When you watch your RCS activity with Geiger counter.

[DarkOwl57]

When your frame rate drops to 3. (Of course, since my computer is a 2012 Toshiba, it runs at literally 3FPS always....)

The 2010 one is even worst x.x

oooohhhh ouch. I feel your pain

However, I love it when you tubers go like "OH MY GOD THESE FRAMES THEY'RE UNPLAYABLE!!!" It fills me with confidence that no matter what, I will never have a super-PC as good as those guys

When you have to move your hand so it doesn't get cooked by the hot air leaving your computer

hahaha I have to do that with my glass of water next to the computer

When you do an EVA while still on the launch pad and are able to step out onto the surface of the Mun...

uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh HOW?!?!?!

1. When you can't even build it because it's so laggy that it crashes a supercomputer. 
2. When you use clusters of clusters of clusters of 3.75m engines. 
3. When you use 3.75m engines for separation motors. 
4. When the kraken is so amazed by it that he doesn't destroy it.

I think that if you use 3.75 engines for the separation stage, your rocket is too much of a target for the kraken

[0111narwhalz]

While browsing the add-on subforum, you find B9. "Ooh, that looks cool," you think, "Maybe I'll finally have a good crew shuttle to service my rocket. Everything's Tweakscale-ready, too!" After some deliberation, you decide that the HX-series parts are too small to be worth it.

And in that moment, he knew...

[Benjamin Kerman]

When 37x7 vector engines has a TWR of 0.76

[Spaceception]

When even NASA's super-computer lags. trying to render it

And when the thrust is enough to nudge the planet off course slightly.

[0111narwhalz]

When nothing but ion drives has the exhaust velocity to escape your rocket's gravity.

Just wanna point this out, I sure you know this though. It's impossible to move planets in stock ksp.

Just want to check.

[kerbiloid]

When its tail is out of the "physical range" from its nose.

[InterCity]

When you dock your space station into the rocket.

(yes, that small circular thing is the 2,5m docking port. The station in question actually fits into this thing's cargo bay)

[Ultimate Steve]

When you launch and your ship collapses into a star. Then Kerbol begins orbiting your star.

(Hey, many people want a binary system!)

When you are playing on a NASA supercomputer and it crashes (even with the part welding mod)!

 

When you have so may seats that the name generator runs out of names and you have 87 Elon Kerman's aboard your ship.

 

When you play "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!" as you launch!
