Famous Last Words..

[Levelord]

"My only regret is that I have... Bone-itis." - Kurtjmac

[Lanfranc]

Immediately after launch: "Wait… where did the main engine go?"

Coming in to land on the Mun with an underpowered thruster: "Hmm… that's going a bit too fast…"

[Tracer13]

"But, will it blend......"

[JimmyAgent007]

Everything is airdrop-able at least once!

[Jank]

1) I probably should have put some struts on that...

2) [coming in for Mun landing] Uh, I probably should have been burning before now... uh oh... noooooooooooooo *radio crackle*

[N8.8]

"It's leaning a little bit to the side..." (Asparagus staging fail)

[SuperBigD60]

"But, will it blend......"

Yes, always yes.

"Let me just dock this real quick..."

[Randox]

Of course we have enough parachutes. Let's land!

[tstehler1]

I didn't build this. Someone who knew what they were doing built this. I'm just flying it to the Mun.

I'm sure all asparagus stages have been correctly programmed.

[Nabiscovinco]

"Let's spin to the LEFT. Now let's stop spinning to the LEFT. Why aren't we stopping spinning to the LEFT. Stop spinning to the LEFT."

*Unmanned refueling ship runs out of electric charge and crashes into space station*

[Nabiscovinco]

One other thing I frequently find myself saying: "The fuel seems to be draining asymmetrically" - seconds later one engine flames out while the other rips the ship apart.

1. THIS

2. "It's not draining asymmetrically."

*stage*

"Just a little shaking OHMYGOD WHAT IS GOING ON" - I say as ship spins itself apart

[NASAFanboy]

Here's some tidbits of the brave astronauts of the NAA.

"Here we go again." - A pilot who was testing the XRP-1 prior to its first supersonic flight in 1948

"Whoever designed this ship, this message is for you. Frak you."- Unnamed Kerbalonaut, confirmed KIA after parachute failure from cislunar reentry.,

"Wheeeeeeeee!"- One of the many lives of Jebediah Kerman

"wrefffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffew///[e]t']t\sgebewy///erwybre435"- One of my many losses due to Sticky Keys

[werdna335]

"Whoops, wrong button."

[Madrias]

"Oh, fudge! I forgot to stage-lock!" Dumped my drop tanks on the way to Laythe, complete failure of the mission.

"I wonder if there's land in there?" So far haven't found out if I can actually land on Jool. Need More Chutes!

"Pull UP! UP UP UP! Oh bugger." SSTO becoming SSTR (single stage to runway)

"A fart would have more power than this!" Ion Engine probe. No more needs to be said.

[Lazro]

"Approaching the runwaOH !@#$ WHERE DID MY WINGS GO?!"

[Rickenbacker]

"This ship is easily small enough to accelerate under physics warp."

"30 second burn, then I should start it 15 seconds early, right?" Said about 17 seconds before whizzing past my "suicide burn" node and smashing into the Mun.

[Tw1]

[LongHairedHuman]

"What was the noise?" - When checking your apoapsis on the map, during a mainsail burn. This happened to me countless times, yet I always manage to forget it.

[Spyritdragon]

"Oh god. I shouldn't have done that. Bail! BAIL!" - jumps out of the hatch in the nick of time and gets slung away by the explosion "...... oh bugger" - flat crash into [CLASSIFIED] landscape.

"Why is the middle tank spending fuel faster than the external boosters?"

SAME MISSION: "Did both of those decouplers fire?"

This is just not my day...

Actually i've been in multiple of these situations. Handled right, my survival percentage is a respectable amount over 50%.

[Wooks]

"throttle up... throttle up... THROTTLE UP... THROTTLE UAW CRAP!"

Every first landing ever.

[USKnight]

"That should be enough struts." - seconds before the lifter crumpled under the weight of a 110t Fuel Tanker on the launch pad.

"Wait! Why is it it turning over?!" - after launch, realizing that an upside down probe and MechJeb do not mix well.

"Aw crap!" - Not checking staging prior to launch leads to many mistakes.

"Why am I so bad at this?!" - trying to land a SSTO, missing the runway and hoping to salvage the landing on the plains.

[NeoMorph]

"Why is my rocket bending in the middle?" - just before phantom force folded my rocket in two and it then exploded.

"This is going to be a perfect landing" - just before I accidentally nudge the abort button and Jebidiah gets ejected with a capsule and a parachute... ON THE MUN.

"Why is my craft not responding?" - as the probe flies off into the aether and then I realise I forgot to add the solar panels.

[AdmiralTigerclaw]

"Well, that's not good..."

- Rocket from two days ago. Not enough gimbal/control surface action to counteract the aerodynamic forces of an oversized procedural fairing... Rocket was nosing over excessively compared to a normal (realistic) gravity turn and had 'flattened' its trajectory out at 10 km, before beginning to aim for the ground.

"Well, that's not good..."

- A general catch all for everything, really.

"On course for Lithobrake."

- Guess.

I can't tell you the number of times I've had this happen when de-orbiting lifters and finding out I forgot to put batteries or panels on them.

[stallion x1]

"ahh just neatly pulling up now..."

as i watch my plane glide graceful as a bird into the air......

*sees aileron gently tap a clipped in part*

Watches as it has violent convulsions and spirals with all the grace and poise of a rhinoceros on an ice rink ......
