Funny ooops moments

[Chipstone306]

Does anyone have any recent oops moments while using orbiter? I tried to create the atlantis launch last night after being up for 28 HOURS! and accidentally jettisoned the ssrms? instead of retracting the beanie cap at the launch pad:dry:

I did a trip from my space station in orbit around the Moon back to Earth on Monday night. A simple Delta-G IMFD scenario, which I find can be a good way to relax.

Entered into the atmosphere and realized my radiator was still open! Thought I got it shut in the nick of time, but everything went sour anyway. Death to all occupants.

I'd made the entire trip with the nose cone open! In external view I saw this only a split second before the entry became totally terminal.

It was not the relaxing experience I'd been looking for.

I was watching one of the space walks, on Nasa TV and tried to pan the view, with the joystick. Doh !!!

Sometimes (alot of times) I forget to do the OMS1 burn and end up doing re-entry.

I'll hit T in other slow-running programs some times.

yes

I think it is not at orbithangar anymore but try http://www.orbithangar.com/advsearc...uthor=default&category=default&subcat=default

It is pretty sensitive though.

My first time landing on the Moon was somewhat similar to that occasion.

Setup my first Trans X to Saturn, the usual correction burns enroute, but forget to turn off time compression when is stepped away to deal with something. That last correction was so precise that I dove straight into the very center of the planet!:suicide:

I picked up my new XR1 from Altea Aerospace at the Ascension Wideawake base. (Old one had some bumps and terminal scratches. Writing your name in the moon dust for all of earth to see pretty much kills it).
I wanted to take it on a shakedown mission with sight seeing (non sling shot)
Base -> MIR -> Mars -> Jupiter -> Saturn -> Base
as usual...

I ended up doing
Base -> MIR -> Mars -> Trying to get captured by Phobos -> Mars -> Trying to get captured by Phobos -> Mars -> Trying to get captured by Phobos -> Mars -> Trying to get captured by Phobos -> Mars -> Trying to get captured by Phobos -> Mars -> Jupiter -> Saturn -> Base

Nobody's perfect

 

[computerex]

So you never did get captured by Phobos?

 

[TSPenguin]

So you never did get captured by Phobos?

I was very tired and tried and tried until I realised WHAT moon it was I was flying past all the time...

 

[NukeET]

So you never did get captured by Phobos?

He'll figure it out someday.

Here's the 95 kilometer ACME tether-sling test entering into atmosphere. The lesson here is don't have typos in your RVEL fields.

It might make a good light-bulb advertisement!
