harleymaster64 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 So I was de-orbiting one of my spacecraft and the whole thing was going well... until. I was at 15000 meters and deployed the parachute... it broke. I was panicking at how to save Jeb and as the meters counted down, came up with an idea, EVA.So I had Jeb jump out and start thrusting down to slow him down. I was coming in too fast and thought I wasn't going to make it. I then hit the ground hard and jeb bounced upward, my mouth gaping in amazement Jeb hit the ground again and came to a stop. He stood up and looked behind him just in time to see his spacecraft crashing behind him. Nothing surviving. <a href="http://imgur.com/aFosm"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/aFosm.png" alt="" title="Hosted by imgur.com" /></a>Badass Jeb!<a href="http://imgur.com/MqI4O"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/MqI4O.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com" alt="" /></a>Flight data proving this was done and not faked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hi harleymaster64, welcome to the community Jeb is a hard headed little blighter isn't he? Lucky he didn't land head first on anything important, like the KSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 That's a cool thing that happens now and then, but it's actually not supposed to work, so don't count on it as a landing method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qumefox Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Ok I have to ask.. what's up with those time stamps in the log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronox Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 If he went on EVA I think the flight time starts at 0 for the EVA pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreller1 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Jeb is harder to kill than a Terminator. His spacecraft are not usually as lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarakon Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yeah, I had one of my guys survive a trip all the way back from the surface of Minmus using only his jetpack, after my silly rocket fell over and left him stranded.I wish I could say it was Jeb, but he exploded earlier in the mission when trying to jetpack down the the surface of Minmus from orbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
