I'm so upset. I'm a newbie Purchased (10/8/14)and while in the sandbox I lost poor Jeb in an unplanned EVA gone awry. He's been traveling in an oblong orbit for days. Yes, I know I can terminate him, but its too cruel for my sensibilities. So, I built a new orbiter with three brave Kerbenites to fetch him. After about two hours I was able to catch up to him in his private orbit and park in a stationary position (relative to his position) about 400M away and then I switched to him and he flew to the rescue craft and grabbed on. I was so excited!m He has just .36/5.00 units of fuel remaining! WHEW! I figured he could just hope a ride back holding on to the capsule since the heat of re-entry doesn't seem to bother them much. Then I go back to fly my awesome orbiter and WTF...I can't get in it with him clutching to the exterior of the craft. I can't save with him in that position either. Ideas?? Can astronauts grab each other? I am going to let him go, send another with a full pack in his place and try again tomorrow. I'd welcome any suggestions.
