[KSP 1.11] Attach parachute during reentry

[AHHans]

I'm sure (nearly) every intrepid space agency manager has had this situation: you are coming back from your latest mission, have the capsule full of exciting new science and are now re-entering Kerbin's atmosphere. Initial reentry works fine without blowing anything up due to overheating, but when it comes to opening the parachutes you hit <SPACE> and noting happens, no matter how often and hard you hit that space bar: these id*bleeeep*ts in the VAB have forgotten to mount parachutes on your capsule.

Well, for the KSP 1.11 update we have been promised that an EVA Construction Mode will be included. That means it should be possible to attach a parachute during flight. So the challenge is to reenter the atmosphere in a capsule without parachutes, get below 30km on Kerbin, and then go on EVA to attach the parachutes for a save landing. Best / funniest picture wins.

Sounds like fun! Do you (or anyone else) happen to know when 1.11 comes out?

It's much more likely that it comes out sometime in December, version 1.12 might be out by March 2021.

Don't sweat it too much, I only said that because March 19th is the latest date that's still technically winter.

Looking back at previous releases, it seems like updates usually come out around 2 weeks after the 2nd KSP Loading article is published. So I'm betting on December 9th, or sometime close to that.
