Dumb ways to die (KSP Edition)

[SuperMiiBrother]

Having a perfectly successful mission to minmus, Making it all the way to the surface and back to kerbin with an apollo style mission (dont ask why)

Only to realise I forgot the science in the lander...

That was on a trajectory to crash into Minmus...

Glitchy teleportation into the upper atmosphere of Kerbol

1. Letting yourself as a MechJeb noob thst you left it do anything from launch to docking that you ran out of fuel to deorbit.

2. Forgot to launch a space station with a Kerbin return vehicle and left Jeb hopelessly chill at tye cupola of the station.

Landing by chute on the edge of the VAB.

[The Minmus Derp]

landing by chute on the VAB, and then the booster stage crashing down on the VAB, destroying it and removing it's hitbox, making me fall to the ground. HILARIOUS!

Testing the Guard Mode of BDArmory having a tag of the hostile team.

Driving too fast without a jet engine to keep you on the ground.

Falling on the Mun without a parachute.

[GRS]

Bail out while Re-entrying...

[SuperMiiBrother]

Having another perfectly successful mission, This time a Mun mission getting lots of juicy SCIENCE!!!, Only to land on a mountain.

Did I forget to mention I was using a KV-2 Pea?

Correction: Rolled down a mountain and died with the science.

Spending your command pod for a seismic experiment.

[cantab]

One booster lit, one booster didn't.

[kerbiloid]

Just one booster. Aside.

[cantab]

Phenomenal ultimate tensile strength, itty-bitty stiffness. (AKA, the rocket bending in half).

[kerbiloid]

Update a mod.
Realize that your ship has no engine due to a version conflict.

Smoke and drink because your life sucks.

Handing your save to Danny2462

The kethane generator produces the electricity to power the ion engine to land on Minmus to mine the kethane to fuel the generator.

Outcome: Zero kethane, zero electricity, very non-zero impact speed.

Roasting a Kerbal using a nuclear salt water engine.

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

Sounds silly, but you wouldn't believe what happened the last time I tried mounting a Duna rescue.

[Abel Military Services]

Underestimated the height of a hill on Minmus. (Last time I land a unmanned rover on Minmus and it slides down and crashed)
