I was recently playing kerbal space program and I wanted to see if I could penetrate Jools surface. So I built this i6SFHvD2Kp9Vlw2LXsBEZG0VlWtaBJ9xaQcSGaRY5cvbvMTIqCbrIJRxxyjcV39LMastdg=s142  and hacked it into a low jool orbit. Then I gave it unbreakable joints, unbreakable parts and ignore max temperature. I then did a retrograde burn and started falling towards the surface. I turned off the sas and let it fall. It was taking a while so I turned physics warp to 4x and waited. Suddenly it spazzed out and I was flying around in empty space. The navball was going crazy. The speed was fluctuating like crazy and was is the quintillions or something and the altitude was spazzing out as well and had the letter P next to it. It did this for a while then it all stopped, the altitude said 0 and the speed said nan. I reverted the flight and when I was on the launchpad again the terrain was this spiky wavelike pattern and it covered all of kerbin. I tried it several times and it happened every time. sometimes all of kerbin was that spiky wavelike pattern, sometimes none of it and sometimes only the water. please help. it crashed once but I don't know how to copy files into here without copying all the text.

Yep, that sounds like the Kraken. It's what I would expect to happen, dropping an indestructible ship into Jool, at 4x physics warp no less. Jool's core is supposed to destroy any parts that get that far down, presumably from the extreme pressure. With unbreakable parts, and the physics errors inherent with 4x time warp... well, let's just say it's no surprise the Kraken reared its ugly head.

 

Oh, and the answer is no, you can't penetrate Jool's surface. It doesn't have a surface in the proper sense, what with being a gas giant and all. There is an altitude zero, but all it marks is the altitude 250 m above the altitude of certain death. The used to be a surface, back before v0.23, but that was years ago.
