How many rockets you accidentally destroyed?

[TheJoolian]

Alright, for this first time, i'am asking a question for the KSP Community how many rockets you accidentally destroyed.

For my first time playing KSP, I builded a small rocket-missile like, uh.. i forgot staging the rocket

cause i didn't know how to play.

Now i wanna see your history  

[RizzoTheRat]

Too many to count  

Staging issues are a pretty common cause, but I've also lost a lot to landing failures. 

My most impressive loss was when I set up an intercept with another craft in orbit I was intending to dock with, and ended up colliding with it half an orbit later!

I'm a big believer in Revert or F9.

[evandisoft]

I never revert, and Jebediah always dies.

[Superfluous J]

As many as there are grains of sand.

[Starhawk]

As many as there are stars.

Happy landings!

[ExtremeSquared]

Launch success rate is somewhere around pro baseball batting averages. I am getting pretty good.

3 (or so)

# of failure = exp((# stars in this universe)*(grains  of sand in the Sahara))

That would be zero then as the correct term is 'sand grains'.

The very very first time I've ever played KSP, I chose to play career mode. (pretty surprising, but I switched to sandbox soon after) With the limited amount of parts I had, I made the standard starter rocket with tiny fins, solid booster, pod, and parachute. I was ready.

My fingers slowly pressed into my spacebar, and I watched as my booster and parachute both deployed at the same time, soon after crashing into the ground.

Then I learned what staging was.

Hell, I do that every time I start a new career game.

There's no reason those two should be on the same staging level.

[kerbiloid]

How many of them I accidentally didn't?

[Epicdreamer]

I can't even remember how many rockets I accidently launched...a few more than I crashed I think.

[Humongusfungus1]

Over 9000

[StrandedonEarth]

Too many or not enough, depending on who (Mortimer or Werhner) is asking.

The more interesting question is how many did I deliberately destroy?

Define "Rocket" (do weird contraptions count)

[Dirkidirk]

at least 25

[Maxsimal]

Every rocket I destroyed was an accident.  And you can't prove otherwise.

[adsii1970]

I can't actually answer that one. I've played since .18 was the demo and bought my first actual game when it was .22. Oh, and I still have catastrophic failures...  

[Kernel Kraken]

About 1 mole of rockets, give or take a few quadrillion.

Planes are a whole different matter, in that I try not to destroy them. Destroyed planes are probably somewhere in the thousands.

Look at the sky at night somewere with 0 light contamination

The sky will be full of stars

 

There will not be enought to count all of them
