That Moment When...

[James_Eh]

That moment when you decide to watch flying your spaceplane through Kerbins clouds from the cockpit and click on EVA instead of IVA

noooooo.......come back!!!!

Yep. So terribly many Kerbals have plummeted to their deaths under my control due to the proximity of those two buttons...

[AlexanderB]

Ahh, yes. That moment when you open the "Open Craft" window to check how many parts are on such-and-such ship, click "cancel", and apparently also click through the window on a random part of the ship that was almost impossible to get lined up the first time, ruining the whole thing.

Theres CTRL-Z in the VAB/SPH right?

It sometimes even works properly!

[r4pt0r]

That moment, when you decouple the capsule on re-entry and notice, that all the loaded science parts were clamped to the engine section...

Ive been lucky enough to eva in time to save that lol

[AlexanderB]

It sometimes even works properly!

Yeah..

(It works, but it re-arranges the parts on your craft, not physically, but the "build order", so it ruins some stuff, like air intakes, and some fuel trickery.. And any struts that were clipping something are "wrong" after ctrl-z.)

[Jett_Quasar]

When you're sitting on the bus and some guys three seats back are talking about how their rockets exploded on the way to Duna...

How random.

JR

[ZodiaK]

that moment when you burn up in the atmosphere after your grand tour.

[GreeningGalaxy]

That moment when you execute a perfect arrival and aerocapture at Jool, only to realize that your nice low equatorial orbit is retrograde instead of prograde.

So much for those moons!

[GoSlash27]

That moment when you go to add another strut to the assembly and remove said assembly (and any dependent subassemblies) because you forgot to click the part in the menu first.

[GreeningGalaxy]

god yes. the 'place strut oh whoops there goes your whole ascent stage' thing happens to me so much it's unreal

[corvustech]

That moment when you realize you huge space station you spent hours assembling lags your game so much that docking anything with it requires patience, quicksaves, and religion.

[Red Iron Crown]

That moment when you go to Hyperedit something into LKO for testing and forget that its values are in meters, not kilometers. Orbital velocity at 100m is...unpleasant.

[Mister Kerman]

That moment when you realize Jeb is piloting your spacecraft.

I think I just won this thread lol.

Edit: My favorite is still Red Iron Crown's spacebar staging post on the first page. That moment sucks so much.

That moment when you're taking a commercial flight and during the captain's preflight announcement he casually mentions his name is Jebediah.

[Jovus]

That's somewhere between "Oh .... let me off this plane now!" and, "This is gonna be awesome!"

Hey, that's a great way to identify fellow KSP players: quickly look around the plane at your fellow passengers as this is mentioned. Anyone who suddenly looks shocked and/or afraid is very likely also a KSP-er

[Stargate525]

That moment when you decouple your lander from your satellite assembly, only to realize there's no probe body on the lander...

[Darmok]

Hey, that's a great way to identify fellow KSP players: quickly look around the plane at your fellow passengers as this is mentioned. Anyone who suddenly looks shocked and/or afraid is very likely also a KSP-er

And anyone who is smiling like a lunatic is definitely a KSP-er.

[GreeningGalaxy]

When you look at a show-off-your-stuff thread and someone posts a ship that they say "can SSTO with nuclear pulse propulsion"

And you just sit there like

Did you mean: Giving the whole world radiation poisoning?

[ChrisHale]

When your Mun lander is going to impact the ground at 100m/s so you stage and ditch all your excess gear and clear the ground by a few meters only to realize you didn't connect the fuel lines properly and are now only on a suborbital arc with an empty tank and need to switch to the command module to make an emergency intercept to collect Jeb before his second brush with death and then after you get back into orbit and make the transfer to Kerbin with the last of your fuel you see you forgot parachutes... again, so you launch a parachute pod that makes it in time to dock with the command module... during re-entry, just in time to deploy them and save the trio.

[General Rarity]

When you forget to put landing gear on a space shuttle. And then you forget the payload. Then the lifter decides to fail. Then you realize that this shuttle is not a good one. Then you install KSO and still manage to forget the landing gear. hashtag... genrarityisbadatshuttles?

[cantab]

When you get your biggest ever ship into a suborbital trajectory in one piece fully fuelled, in the biggest lag fest of a launch you've ever endured, and then you realise it's got too few reaction wheels and is thus almost uncontrollable and you can't line it up for circularisation.

(I made it in the end by throttling the engines up so their gimballing could turn the ship. It still handles like the Titanic in molasses even after the launcher was dropped.)

[Johno]

That moment when you prepare for running the test that will net you several gazillion moneys plus enough science to science all the scientists in the scientific world . . .

. . . And realise that you left the part you're testing back on Kerbin.

GOSH DARN IT TO HECK. FUDGE!

I am so able to relate to that...

And by the way... [bStotchMode]Oh Hamburgers! I forgot my dang engines again![/bStotchMode]

(I'm a South Park fan. DEAL WITH IT.)

[Johno]

I'm not censoring what I said, by the way. I'm a teacher AND a parent, so I have very finely tuned automatic bowdlerisation routines built into my speech processing unit.

"Gosh darn it to heck" is what I really say, much to the amusement of the kids at school . . .
