The "OMG that's so Kerbal" thread.

[technicalfool]

There must be a few people out there who've tried (and failed) in a spectacular fashion. Why not post some of them here?

For my own first entry, I'll submit my failed attempt at a multi-stage, multiple-warhead firework rocket. I've done this before successfully. Buoyed by success, I decided to scale things up a little.

Unfortunately this time, I made the classic mistakes of Not Enough Boosters, and Not Enough Struts. TWR calculations were okay, but the first stage engines didn't all ignite simultaneously enough, and the off-centre forces involved ripped the stack to bits.

The person-shaped shadow you can see is me. So, who else has had a Kerbal moment? Did you win or did you fail, and do you have the video or some pictures to show it?

You should've used more Spacetape.

That is sooo kerbal indeed!

[technicalfool]

What, nobody? At all?

Surely there must be someone in the entire Kerbal fanbase who has done things with rockets, sticky tape and chewing gum?

Fine. Here's another one. A little smaller this time, and this time I used enough struts:

I don't play with explosives. I experiment. It's why I still have all of my body parts attached.

Shovel? Digging? Bah. MOAR JUICE.

And apparently, not enough struts.

True. I completely forgot about the time me and a couple of buddies were in an old condemned building with display-grade airbomb charges, too. Ahem, said buddy expresses himself quite explicitly, so turn the volume down if you don't want that language outburst.

Made a lovely paint job, that did.
