    Curious George
  1. So first I accidentally hit space bar and separated the final stage from my capsule while in orbit (oops). With no way to reenter I figure I will try EVAing and pushing the capsule backwards to slow it down at periapsis - seemed like a reasonable plan considering periapsis was only 68km or so. So I send my guy out on EVA and let go and fire up the jet pack trying to figure out the jetpack controls. I started drifting away from the space craft and I wasn't sure how to get back even from a hundred meters away... I'm not sure what direction I need to burn for and how long. A big problem I think was overshooting. All I did was make things worse in the process. In the end when I burned up all my guy's EVA fuel they were a couple kilometers away from each other and he and the spacecraft are stuck in orbit... now they are about 100km apart just waiting to eventually burn up on reentry. Any tips on how to avoid the EVA disaster the next time? With no nav ball and no maneuvers I really didn't know how to get where I want to go using the least amount of fuel (or really any amount of fuel).
