It's awesome how simulation games like KSP teach people about rocketry and orbital mechanics - I bet KSP will contribute to the coming resurgence of interest in spaceflight.

Lots of KSP references in the youtube comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl12dXYcUTo&hd=1

Seriously - I have Kerbaled that exact same launch sequence a few times!

I dunno, it looked less likely to fall apart on the launch pad due to wobbling in the breeze...
