Question about hitting esc to revert a mission

All

Is there a penalty to hitting escape and starting a mission over in mid flight?  Curious as it makes it seem like cheating.  If no penalty, is it something most people don't do?

Thx

It's as much cheating as putting a bucket inside your sandcastle to make it stronger. Unless you're in a competition with strict rules, no one really cares.

There's also many cases where reversing is unequivocally "legit":

  • You're building a craft and at the launch pad realizing, because you took out a part, KSP decided to shuffle up your staging order
  • And after fixing that, KSP decided to put crew back in your craft that's supposed to launch crewless (because it's an unwieldy space station without abort facilities)
  • While adding a maneuver node, KSP decides that it's actually "time warp here" and by the time you've stopped it, you've missed the window for a rendez-vous or circularization
  • The kraken strikes
  • Etc
