Deorbit the Premade Space Station

Actually, deorbiting Space Station One is deceptively easy.

You just need to fire the RCS jets properly.

Spending every last drop of RCS got me a rather guaranteed lithobraking.

Re-entry was fun, naturally.

Landing, not so much so.

The easier (and quicker) way is to warp to apoapsis, point retrograde, shutdown the poodle engine and activate the lv-909. Turn on ASAS, turn on RCS, then throttle the engine up fully. The RCS will maintain course and you will get a periapsis below 40k when you're done.

Good ole Jeb, enjoying the light show even while pieces of the station are being ripped off.
