Don't worry about putting fairings on it. We disabled Ferram Aerospace.

Parachutes are for wusses.

Let's just transmit this surface sample back to Earth real quick...

I downloaded this craft from a guy I don't know, ready the launch pad!

I just LOVE destroying the VAB unprovoked.

Our system crashed. Don't scrub the launch yet!

Hold UP! I SAID PAUSE! Press F2 real quick because I NEED to post that to the NASA forums.

NASA: Yes, we destroyed the Launchpad  because the TWR was too low.

Reporter: How could that happen?

NASA: Well, we didn't bother calculating it.

Reporter: What did you do to solve the problem?

NASA: We added moar boosters!

NASA: Our rocket failed because of a fatal and unknown error.

Engineer: It actually failed because a we had two commands that look pretty much the same, but do different things.

Insider: It failed because the entire mission control was busy getting donuts.

NASA: We wanted to have a space race but we ran out of :funds:

Technician: It was actually because we are all inside a computer Game called KSP and we worried about lag

Insider: We encountered a bug where the funds became zero

NASA: There was a linkage failure between the solid rocket booster and the main fuselage.

Engineer: It was actually because we clipped the two together.

Insider: It was a rudder problem. ("Rapid Unplanned Disassembly -der" versus "the triangle thingy on the back")

 NASA: Erm, Nothing... The newest SSTO totally didn't explode inside the VAB

Reporter: WHAT EXPLODED???!!!!!

Insider: We designed the defueler fueltank so it had a leak that whenever oxidizer got poured in it smacked into da rocket. 

 

Watch at 3:10 for number 12

"Jeb, the Abort button is just a big bright disco light."

Jeb: "Which one; there's a million of 'em"

Mission Control: "just smash them all and see what happens"
