Need a New Mod Before A Kerbal Pays the Ultimate Price!

[Probus]

Was the title click-bai... I mean Thrilling enough? 

I had an idea this morning for a new mod.  When I exited my capsule to transfer to my rendezvoused ship, I realized I hadn't invented RCS packs yet.  Luckily I hadn't drifted far enough away and was able to grab a ladder.  Close call.  Whew.

So this gave me the idea for a mod.  Some kind of tether that lets you move around your ship using ladders and handrails but it the worst happens, you have a tether to let you get back to your ship. 

Would this kind of mod even be possible?  I remember in KIS/KAS that there are wenches and fuel transfer ports, so I assume a mod could be created, if you knew how, to do it that way.

Anyways, just an idea for a small mod if someone is looking for a project.

You can actually use the KAS Winch on the outside of you vessel near the hatch. When the Kerbal goes on EVA the first thing you do is grab the winch connector, It attaches to the Kerbal's back and you can now move and the cable will extend. You can slowly retract the cable in the winch gui to reel the kerbal back to the hatch.

Yeah, you never know when a new tech tree may come out with jetpacks after crewed flight. Just sayin', it happened to me.
