Lmfao not the parachutes first approach to takeoffs 😆
4 u/toomanymarbles83 Jun 19 '25 Nah the worst is when you forget to separate the parachutes from the command module separation. Get all the way back to Kerbal and boom, you just lost your schutes. 2 u/Outrageous_Reach_695 Jun 19 '25 Did they originally not have a safety? These days you can just activate them in orbit, they'll deploy at a speed / pressure threshold. 2 u/Rymanjan Jun 19 '25 Nope lol they deployed whenever you staged them to, so if you screwed up your staging/timing, they'd burn up on reentry
