I've crashed Atlantis into the Pacific Ocean who knows how many times. I've also ended up crashing in the south-eastern US. I've crashed a DGIV because I ran out of fuel. I've crashed the USS Enterprise into Earth at extremely high speeds. I've blown up KSC and 2 DGIVs at the same time.

That all happens because I'm not good at Orbiter :p

Somewhere, but not here.
hmm. good reasoning power. I've got one.

I caused my entire UMMU crew to suffer without oxygen for 20 mins before I actually realized what was happening.:p

Actually they probably suffered for about 10 seconds without oxygen.

Or almost 8 minutes if they were good at holding their breaths.

Logistics fail.

Essentially, the big ship is low on fuel, and this is what I send to refuel it.
For reference: The little white thing near the front is Kulch's tanker. Look at it, then look at the propellant tanks on the Cook. Looks like these guys'll be at Mars for a long, long time.
:beathead:

A couple days ago I downloaded the new DG-IV velcro launchers, I had already tested them out a little bit and decided to do a moon trip, after setting up all the cargoes, launch window, skins etc etc etc I, for whatever reason, pressed the "j" key to get the launch started, except for that add-on launch is the "o" key. since it's auto pilot i was going to watch the launch from the outside camera. then the dg just falls off of the front, making that horrible metal crunching sound and inside all the alarms are going off and the flight computer is displaying the blue screen of death... :rolleyes:

Somewhere between points A and B
^^ :rofl:

I've created a few disasters as well, but so many of them are similar to some of the experiences I've read about in this thread. However, the mere act of downloading Orbiter 2010 was a disaster in the making...

"Commander. Krashkart just got his hands on Orbiter 2010!"
"It can't be!"
"It's been confirmed by Google's wifi division. He also downloaded a copy of the Lua documentation."
"But... he has no skillz..."
"Our worst fears have just become reality."
"*gasp*... god help us! Help us all!!"

And thus begins the slow, epic slide into doom. *dun dun duhhnnn*

Some (unintentional) disasters i made myself:

-pressed the wrong button and dumped ALL the O2 instead of the fuel for reentry

-incredible upside-down landing with the Arrow
- first try of deorbiting ended with a giant fireball above NY :)

And last but not least:
- set up a course with the warp drive MFD from the moon to Mars at .99 c....

Too bad that the Earth was just in the middle
