listen,

anyone who's anyon ewill tell you that the way to play Kerbal Space proGram is drunk out of your skull, performing Delta V calculations by eyeballing your fuel supply and going "yeah that'll get me out of orbit and the rest is fuckn gravy" anyway i've got to go TO THE MUN because some dumb son scof a bitch left Jeb up there after fucking up rocket staging and ejecting their ascent stage without actually FUCKIN GASCENDING

my favorite way I fucked up a milk run in kerbal space program at the absolute last minute is that I built a mun rocket with separate munar ascent and descent stages, and importantly, I failed to notice that I had put the landing legs on the descent stage. everything went great on munar landing until I jettisoned the descent stage just above the landing site and realized that I had also jettisoned my feet.

undeterred, I managed to just about set it down on the ascent engine bell, but after touchdown it fell over and blew up the engine.

postscript: after this mission, I decompressed by taking the same payload to minmus. landing on the engine bell worked just fine there.

can concur, the last time i played KSP i was 38 hours into a 43 hour livestream, insanely drunk on costco scotch soaked granola bars and an actual aerospace engineer guided my successful mission to load jebediah kerman into a biplane and yeet him directly into the sun for the stream finale
