Dumb ways to die (KSP Edition)

[Wildcat111]

The rules are simple: list as many dumb ways, no matter how big or small, your KSP missions have failed

I'll start it off...

Confusing retrograde with prograde. You can probably guess what happened next...

[Fraston]

Forgetting the parachutes...

Checking the staging...

[lllmaxlvllll]

Not getting out of time warp quick enough.

[GRS]

...Go to Eve *DABS*

[Sprout]

Forgetting the remote pilot and speeding up the ship too fast

[XB-70A]

I. Accept a rescue contract:

 

II. Descend close to the profit source kerbonaute desperately waiting for assistance.

 

III. Light your engine to make the client's capsule flying away.

 

IV. Enjoy the failure of the contract.

Ah... check staging, forgot parachutes, stranded them in Duna orbit... welp.

Physical Timewarp while flying an Unstable Monster Craft

oh... done that too! It was named the Nova... and it was an absolute PAIN to fly! It was supposed to be a Direct Ascent to the Mun, but I way over engineered it. I'll get a VAB picture in a couple hours

[lllmaxlvllll]

Sandwiching the heat-shield between the capsule and science junior. Apparently when the science junior blew up it took the heat-shield with it.

[Fraston]

Somehow being shot down by SAM (Surface to Air Missile) installments that don’t exist.

[GRS]

Trying to fly an Asteroid to Brofist another Asteroid...

[HansonKerman]

Going to the Mun without fuel.

wait... do I see infinite fuel cheats???

[Lisias]

Igniting your fuel at launch. All of it. At the same time.

lol I meant running out of fuel

[The Minmus Derp]

spontaneously teleporting to Jool lower atmosphere by glitch

[Sky Vagrant]

Once I separated from my Mun station, plotted a return trip to Kerbin for the next orbit, and after I hit the engines I said, “Oh look, I’ll be flying right past the station-“ Blam! Right into it. Think I killed a kerbal in the Cupola (rocket was unmanned delivering science back to Kerbin), but I was so freaked out I immediately reloaded the last save. 

[StrandedonEarth]

OIT - Orbit Into Terrain - Also the sound Roker made when he looked out the window seconds before impact. *shakes fist at Gilly*

[GRS]

Forget Struts...*DABS*

[halleyyy]

Wait, did I leave the RCS on?
Maneuver too much and hit something.

[KerbolExplorer]

Tauting the magic boulder

[GRS]

Follow The Kraken wherever it goes...

1. Starting descent burn too late and ended up impacting the Mun.
2. Putting a Kerbal right next to a Vector engine nozzle in a Liauid Fuel Rocket Cannon and fired the engine just to see a hopeless Kerbal launch.
3. Install a Life Support mod (e.g TAC Life Support. I use this currently) and forgot to upgrade your Mun base to adapt with this mod (I built a Matt Lowne-inspired massive rover using Stock build in mind even I have @Nertea's Station Parts Expansion Redux installed. Quite a dumb choice)

Staring at @Nereid's Final Frontier badges for too long while doing a dead short burn with Delta v that barely make it out...
