Loved KSP never made it to Mum landing. Tried it on console as well but the game just doesn't work with a controller.

Can't forget this classic from ArianeSpace's Vega launch a few years ago. They wouldn't tell the poor stream host that it was lost even when the telemetry looked like this.
altitude VS time graph from ArianeSpace. A green curve represents the mission plan while a yellow curve represents vehicle data. The two curves diverge in the middle of the graph. The green line continues ascending, with the current nominal altitude marked at 160 km. The yellow line droops down, showing the actual altitude at 90 km and falling at the time of screenshot.

No craft chuted can be handled since they added the personal chute. You can bail out just after reentry. But when you forget Shields things get hot...

My brother doing cutting edge semiconductor research: "What we need are meticulous people with high school educations tabulating experimental results. Instead PhD's make such a hash of that task that tests are inherently compromised." Bow your heads to the parchment, there be all truth & wisdom.
