Meet me in zero G undocking failure

[h0psej0ch]

Hello,

I was playing the: Meet me in zero G mission from the making history dlc, but after docking the two ships I EVA, which the mission wants me to do, and I get the message that the atlas will explode and I need to undock quick, so I undock and the atlas explodes but it says that the mission is a failure because the atlas exploded which I can't do anything about. I have tried this multiple times but nothing seemed to work.

Well, I just tried it and I don't know what's supposed to happen. On my run the docking ring was so far inside the other ship's shroud that I couldn't click on it to undock. The Agena blew up while I was still connected but did not harm my ship. I was able to click on the ring after the parts around it were blown up, de-orbited and landed safely. I didn't get a success message or a fail message. So what happens if you just go ahead and land?
