You Will Not Go To Space Today - Post your fails here!

[possum]

first landing attempt

[HazelPine]

Today I tried to land a Cargo plane at night behind the mountain range west of KSC. Jeb Bill and Bob lived!

[HazelPine]

Don't ask.

I was testing if separatrons could stop you before you crashed to save the ship, but when I activated them I got this...

LAG city.

[CatastrophicFailure]

Jeb, that's coming out of your paycheck this time!"

[joethebeast22]

came in a little too hot

[Nemesis24]

I was trying to transfer crew between ships. I forgot the docking ports were incompatible, so I was EVAing crew over. As Jeb jetted across, some debris I had forgotten I jettisoned earlier just so happened to slam into him and the target ship.

The Kraken showed up and Jeb got de-orbited. I think those squids hate my space program.

[Pyromaniacal]

Here's a goof. I had a mission to the Joolian system prepared. I was going to use a substantial amount of fuel left in the central stage of the Nova SHLLV from Temstar (Go here, folks! http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/24787-0-19-1-Zenith-rocket-family ) as a primary travel stage. I had no doubt it would have given me the necessary delta-V to get to Jool. Unfortunately, the craft folded in half where the ship and the booster met. What's worse, is that when I tried an emergency abort to get the crew clear, 2 of my 3 LV-N engines broke free. So now, the Aria was crippled, I have a huge debris field surrounding it, and I have to somehow get Bill, Bob, Jebediah, and Sonncot home. After I used RCS to burn the ship clear of the debris, I sent this up to get them.

This is the business end of the Delilah Rescue craft. Capable of rescuing 4 kerbals from an eccentric orbit of 250km x 900km at a 25 degree incline, she worked first time up to the plate.

During the transfer, there were a couple of picturesque moments, too.

In short, I made it to space, made a hell of a mess, and made it back safely.

Thermal curtain failure.

This is my Mun lander approaching its destination. It dumped the transfer stage and began its descent swimmingly. SUDDENLY, Sticky Keys! I quickly open my game window and suicide burn, to no avail. Thus another Kerbal was killed.

[HazelPine]

Today we had... uhmm... malfunctions.

My KerbalWhite Mk1 space plane had made it all the way to the mun, and I decided to land it. The engine broke off at landing, and I was stuck. Then I try to rove around and I destroy the whole plane. I hope Macred has enough snacks for a rescue mission to pick him up...

Here you can see him hanging on to the plane...

Here you can see the cockpit in the corner, flying away.

I will have to save him now. FACEPALM:huh:

CRITICAL MISSION FAILURE

[Rhyunix]

That's a fail alright

[CatastrophicFailure]

?!? What exactly happened there??

[G4S3FR]

It started as a regular shuttle launch.

Then I lost control...

I couldn't turn the compensator engines off...

It got worse...

Then the RCS tank snapped off.

Then it happened to the engines...After this, the control MAGICALLY RETRNED! (great job, keyboard)

I decided, If i was going to fail. I was going to do it with FIRE!

This is the last image of it.

I need a better keyboard!

1: I believe I was "Trying" To test my Crane i first made with KAS And it tiped over

2: My North Pole express failed as i tryed turning very hard and thne it started spinning out of control

3: The rocket exploded on launchpad for some odd reason Though it was fun to clean up with JEbidiah pushing them around (he's Strong as hell!)

4: I tryed Extracting Kethane from Kerbin With an SSTO Whileist Landing it Fell apart other then the pod

[The Czosnex]

?!? What exactly happened there??

Well... Somehow just the fuel tank exploded

[ExplodingRocketShips]

We did get to space today.

Just not without a bunch of pieces of rocket popping off once we touched down on duna.

[Dockillar]

I was landing a polar rover on Ike as apart of my Duna-Ike-Robotics-Mission or DIRM, so I was at 15000 M doing a de-orbit burn and you will not believe what happened; I managed to crash into the magic bolder. Its hard to get a screenshot when you crash at 500m/s so I don't have a screenshot to show. But ever since, I have never gone back to Ike.

[mikro42]

uh, jeb, why man why?!

sent jeb up to test my new hypersonic design (using b9, FAR and Kethane mods atm), he got the sucker to about 3.3 km/s and got some burnouts, the plane flips out and the central rear engine flies off. jeb then manages to recover and for some reason decides to try again (maybe he figured less mass = faster) and put himself in a 5.5 million metre eccentric orbit.... in an airplane. a broken airplane.

and as he's dipping back into the atmosphere he makes another snap decision and throttles up... and ends up 7.5 billion metres from kerbin in orbit around the sun... in a broken airplane D:

[ExplodingRocketShips]

My first rocket was a complete failiure.

This is it's parts:

-mk1 cockpit

-stock fuel tank

-jet engine

It also helped I had no Idea how to stage or how the jet engines even WORK.

it did absolutely three things:

-fall over

-explode

-make me realize this game was very resource demanding and that if I didn't turn down my graphics the game would lag to all heck.

[Bioman222]

Yeah... you need intakes and jet fuel for a jet engine to work.

trying to land my eve base... each time it got cut in half and become useless.

also tried to make a very low mun orbit, just got hit by a 5km mountaine, or craft deleter when time accelerating other near ship (also try to see where is the nearest ground by night on the moon)

[iDan122]

Landed a lander in Kerbin on engines, went a little too fast, lost 1/4 engines, tried to take off, turned and crashed

While on a recently trajectory, Eva'ed my kerbal, lost ship, went away so the marker would show, tried to get the ladder, pod started rotating, got blown away from pod by air
