        As someone who has 100's of hours of experience in watching rocket launches and playing KSP, I can assure you that this is how a rocket launch goes.

        I read that initially as "highest chance of collusion with Care Bears" and honestly, I prefer that reading. U no hit TenderHeart, k!

        This doesn't seem right but I don't know enough rocket science to say for sure.

        Alt-text: NASA tries to coordinate launch timing with the Care Bears' cloud castle, but unfortunately sometimes collisions with stray Care Bears are unavoidable, so they just try to make the fairings sturdy and hope for a glancing impact.

        Unlike everyone here, I have never played KSP, but I can say this is accurate because every rocket launch I watch turns into a disaster 😂

        While NASA is very much into science and not superstition, they do kindly ask that you not watch their future manned missions.

        I've watched hundreds of launches and this is spot on.
