The Gemini one is funny. I mean it’s not tragic cause no one died but it’s hilarious to think that the abort is just a suicide button that melts the astronaut.

SpaceShipTwo is retarded because without the “Feathering” maneuver you’ll die on re-entry, but if you accidentally turn it on on the ride up, you’ll also die.

SpaceShipOne almost an-heroes in flight, too. As it ascended it started spinning out of control.

Skip to 1:00 to see the spinning. It’s kinda funny/scary when mission control even says “uh oh”.
