Except in KSP, where the death of one Kerbalnaut is a good day, but bad days tend to include things like 'the orbital station had an unexpectedly close encounter with Duna and attempted to perform an emergency lithobreaking maneuver. Unfortunately, the stresses caused by the attempted lithobreaking exceeded design tolerances and the entire thing underwent rapid unplanned disassembly, resulting in the loss of the entire crew.'
Yes, I'm bitter, why do you ask?
