My ascension quest is stuck on "initiate rocket launch" , i have succesfully launched the rocket twice now , first time with 1 human , second time with 2 humans and the quest has not progressed .

I have done a lot of things in between and don't want to go back to a save form before the first launch because i have put many hours in since then .

I am giving it one last go and getting another human ready , im just at the seed vault now ready to pick up a new seed.

is there a specific order i need to do things in to make sure it progresses this time?

Many Thanks

i had a little trouble getting that mission to advance too. it took two times before the quest actually proceeded. luckily, i saved right before i launched.

here is what i'd recommend doing. save in a new slot right before launching. then launch. if it doesn't succeed in progressing the mission, then you have a save point to right before the launch so that if you need to try again, you're right there. this may sound weird, but if it fails on that first try, on the next attempt after you load the save... run down to the Visitor Center and then back first. i've fixed a few missions bugs by doing that. if you try a few times and still can't get it to proceed, upload that save here and we'll see if we can get it to advance somehow.

Flip the circuit breaker and turn off power in launch control room (room beneath the platform).
Travel back to rocket in the moving platform.
Travel to the rocket top on the lift and remove human capsule
On the terminal on top rocket platform perform check - it should say that rocket door is opened and payload is extracted.
Place the human capsule back to the rocket and close the door - terminal should say that payload is loaded and door is closed.
Return back to launch control room using the elevators.
Power the room (flip the circuit breaker back), assuming you already have steady power supply to that zone.
Go to the launch control room and initiate the launch normally as you did
This 100% worked for me and I found this in a post from 11/12/25

Follow same steps as first lunch, human pod at enterance so you activate the platform and always turn off and on all 3 switches from platform,

If all steps was done as first lunch and still you can initiate it, i had the issue that i needed like 0.0001% power even if it show that is 100%
