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

[panfish5]

Testing a rather large design, for some reason the Kerbals placed a big stack of orange tanks on the ground rather than in its designated spot on the rocket. And they turned the engines on.

Thats a lot of fuel tanks...

[Whackjob]

Wha.. what in the hell happened here?!

That was a failed launch of the Gossamer lander leg module.

Did finally get her up there and docked, though.

[Guest]

Guys, I clearly have the best fail!

[RocketPilot573]

I landed on the Mun before this, all Bob wanted to do was see Minmus too...

Maybe wasting half the RSC fuel roving around on the Mun was a terrible idea.

Um, your space ship is borked dude.

[annallia]

Any landing you can walk away from right?

[Hidden Gunman]

After countless hours and attempts, I finally got a lander onto the mun, with enough juice left for rendezvous and return home. All went well, till I turned off the SAS after touchdown on a slight slope...and it fell over onto the crew hatch.

Trying to launch a moderate sized interplanetary ship for Jool on one rocket is very hard to do. Most notably because of the struts needed, and the part count:

^Just the first try. Okay, now, try adding more struts.

...more struts

[Guest links123]

After hours of search I found a lander on the mun

[Lar-E]

Duna Mission:

oops, and

double oops.

[SDIR]

Wait, why is the command module still attached to the lander?

[Lar-E]

Good eye SDIR! In the words of Jebediah Kerman, "Um... Oops?"

[programagor]

Interplanetary trip gone wrong

[MGCJerry]

I was working on a rocket and wanted to change something real quick, and when i placed my other stage back onto the rocket, it did the lockup & symmetry thing... I didnt think of getting a screenshot of it, but I did say the heck with it and tried launching it. More like detonating it. 876 parts. Here are the remains on the launchpad. You will not be going to space today, or going home... Sorry Jeb!

HOW are they all pointing like that?

[m1xte]

Structural failure.

[3mon]

Nope, i think it wont be going up any time soon

[annallia]

Well the rocket may have failed to get to space... But the final stage sure did make a good boat!

[lordcrekit]

Finished loading, get to main menue, check task manager: 3.55 GB ram used. And I havn't even started the game ._.

And I can't decide which mod to uninstall. I want all of them!!

[Sirrobert]

It usually doesn't go up that much more after loading them all up

[MGCJerry]

HOW are they all pointing like that?

I call it a Jeb.

"Jeb"

verb: To screw up, big time...

"Wow, I just pulled a total Jeb and mounted rocket engines sideways!"

[SDIR]

This isn't technically a fail, more of a glitch, but I think it's worth it anyway.

I was testing a new Single-launch-to-Minmus-but-need-to-refuel-at-a-station type craft, and after a bit of flying, I arrived at my partially assembled base.

Unfortunately, one of my kerbals, while floating to the hab module, landed (and tripped) on the monopropellent storage tank and fell.

Ominous screen glitch

This has happened to me before, where the screen glitched and then the kerbal would magically appear in orbit. But not this time.

There USED to be a base there.

It seems kerbals have a very high energy yield.

[Lunaran]

[3mon]

Still didnt want to go up

Well one day I designed an asparagus staged rocket first time after a bit of testing it got a small probe on a collision course with the Mun I time warp for too long go back to 1 time acceleration and check my speed it is 734m/s but the Mun is too close I burn my engine at full throttle and crash into the terrain at 100m/s. Mental note check your attitude next time.

Sorry no pics.
