Humble Beginnings

I am pleased to announce that the first two projects of the Kerbal Space Program have launched without a hitch.

I am displeased, however, to admit that they both exploded before exiting Kerbin orbit.

First up is the unmanned, or should I say "unkerbaled"...Unkerb'd? Anyway, the mission to launch the AMATERASU Satellite into orbit around Kerbin. It kinda exploded.

Secondly we have the manned mission to orbit Kerbin, and later the Mun, that had some inexplicable disaster happen. (The camera stopped following the ship, then it exploded, then the camera started following the command module as it fell down toward the ground.)

Thankfully, the kerbonauts were - apparently - unharmed by this catastrophic failure, and are believed to be open to flying again on the Lazarus II.
