One of the things I love about KSP is the way it encourages innovation... I usually land planes using parachutes anyway, it tends to be safer =P... Before getting landing gear using angled launch clamps, and maybe some srbs on the engines should work... Some sort of vto would probably work too I guess, but that'd probably be trickier =P

I think this is a pretty good idea, I already had a problem with this once since the 24 update... Had a command pod under a probe, and even though I had emptied it previously manually, because of some editing Jeb managed to sneak back into it... So I had to complete my rescue mission by trading Jeb for the other stranded Kerbal, then go right on back to rescue Jeb (got a soft spot for him .)
