What's the funniest thing you've seen/heard a new player do in KSP?

My friend trying to get his rocket into space by just adding more and more boosters. I swear there were 50, and he kept trying to stage them in different orders until he got frustrated and quit playing lol

My first Mün rocket had so many boosters clustered together that I had to use winglets as cooling fins to keep them all from overheating and exploding. I think one draft of my rocket even involved letting some boosters explode anyway and just calling it part of the staging sequence.

Back during 0.20, Duncan from the Yogscast decided he wanted to do a let's play series on KSP, and after a bit of mucking around, he decided he was going to land on the Mun. He built a direct ascent lander with the Mk1-2 pod and a Mk2 landing can underneath it (presumably under the assumption that his Kerbals would emerge from it). He manages to pull off the landing alright, but is surprised when his Kerbals are coming out of the pod instead of the landing can. Not aware that Kerbals have jetpacks, he decides the best course of action is to put Bill on the ladder and take off, only to find that Bill cannot cope with the acceleration and has fallen off. He tries to leave the Mun's sphere of influence and doesn't quite have enough juice for his approach. Bill ends up getting kicked out of the capsule somehow, so he decides to rescue Jeb. But as he's trying to figure out how to get his rescue craft to rendezvous with him, the lander re-enters the Mun's sphere of influence and crashes into the surface.

When I first started trying to send probes to the Mun, I was convinced that the game was freezing on me. Every time, around half way to the Mun, the controls would just freeze. I couldn't do anything and I was convinced that the game was broken. Then I noticed "electric charge" under the resources...
