sort of a more... "WHAT IS GOING ON???" fail...

At least it looks pretty. What sort of rocket did you have to launch to get an explosion like that?

Gather 'round and listen closely, Because this is a long story and I only got one good pic to tell the tale.

I just finished doing deorbital burning after returning from a Munar escape in the Duna-III Rocket, Flown by a lone kerbal, on the Kerpollo 17 Mission.

(The Duna-III is a mod rocket made with a booster stage based off the American Saturn-V and a capsule stage based off the Chinese Tiangong-1)

As my capsule shot through the orbital-reentry stage (No deadly re-entry mod here) I realized something bad.

I CONVERTED MY CAPSULE INTO A STATION CORE. THERE WERE NO PARACHUTES.

As a last-ditch effort I did a burn over the sea as I fell through the air. Did my last resort burn fail or succeed? I don't know, because the game froze and crashed with a "Terminated in an unusual way" Error during the freefall. Oh well.

Here's the picture, a picture of the capsule detaching from the final boost stage.

[Wooks]

Explosions? Yep, explosions.

So my unmanned Eve lander/rover mission may be a little unbalanced....

It's always nice when your ship just decides to detach and fall over, leaving the asparagus staging still on the pad, before even starting the engines. I have no idea what happened. The next attempt launched fine.

If I had gotten this in game I wouldn't have reverted. I would've left the debris field as a trophy

i have done that with the Kraken attack on my space station i had docked a set of mainsail tanks and using a experimental space tug moving in the next section boom my tug and the docking port is about the only parts not with a new separate orbit i was so shocked i totaly forgot to screen cap then it was all so pretty i manged to get the kerbals from the station to a stable orbit with a bit of left over rcs fuel and back packs

then re named life boat 1

i will go up and save them sooner or later

Tried to land my first Spaceplane on an inclined plane of a hill. Ended up like this and the TurboJet engine exploded suddenly when the landing wheels touched the surface.

Don't mess with boosters, kids.

...said no Kerbal, EVER.

Boosters are not the answer; boosters are the question. The answer is "MOAR"!

So lets compare KSP mishaps...

In my case, it was Bob getting his head stuck between two of Nothke's S6 rings (more on that here).

What was yours?

Misjudging the ability of my spaceplane to glide and crashing about 500m from the end of the runway...For the full report Click Here

Well, I very nearly lost my big SSTO. It was out of fuel, even with a NERVA, and had to circuarlize on RCS. So I sent a tug. And forgot to put any batteries on it, because the SSTO dosen't have electricity... duh.

[Doozler]

Moon lander had not enough fuel to make it back to orbit.

First rescue craft had no RCS, so wouldn't have been able to dock at the refuel station and had to be abandoned.

Second recuse craft had triple symmetry. I tried to adjust the position of the RCS thrusters to compensate for the triple-symmetry... it didn't . Also I forgot to add additional RCS fuel so I had to perform a dock with only forward and reverse RCS (no translation).

Bob made it back to the station eventually though!

[Poryy]

I crashed an entire base because I was impatient and had RCS thrusters.

[jaredkzr]

I uhh accidentaly sent Jeb into Jool's atmosphere at over 6km/s without a heat shield. Turns out with Deadly Reentry installed, 6km/s into Jool's atmosphere is a little bit much for the 1 man pod.

[mellojoe]

Decoupled a stage using the blue stack seperator. Except, the decoupler got caught on one of the legs of the craft. It was enough weight to imbalance the small craft. I had to play around with time warp to try to get it to glitch through so that it would come loose and leave my craft alone.

[magnemoe]

Sent an mun lander to sample the reminding zones, pretty nice setup, an lightweight lander with dockable goo and labs and enough dV to mostly sample an second location after an suborbital jump.

Have an transfer stage with more goo/labs and spare fuel in orbit, that will be reused as a tug after this mission as it has 4 LV-N and plenty of docking ports.

Forgot to add communication and static solar panels on it, because of KAS its not an total mission fail, i will do science and store and have launched an probe with panels and antennas.

[problemecium]

I had the worst KSP day ever - I spent all day at work and didn't get to play at all :C

[Othuyeg]

I had a nice periapsis of 107 km for aerobraking on Jool... I warped through the thing without dropping out of time warp... got no aerobrake, went out of the solar system. Not nice.

[HafCoJoe]

I started this post and no one's replied...

[pauix]

After some failed attempts, I thought I finally had achieved orbit around Duna, but my probe got too close to Ike and is now going into interplanetary space.

I don't like Ike
