I've just thoroughly confused the game. Maybe this should be a bug report, but the overlaid cockpits was quite funny. "Say, Bob, does it look like my head is static to you?" "And weren't we in a Command Pod? Or was it a cockpit?

I put unrealistic due to the scale/planet mass issues. That said, It could be in a universe where G is larger, to my knowledge that would give the higher gravities needed for the planet sizes. Admittedly I'm not a physicist, and this opinion is mainly from my having read Raft by Stephen Baxter (wherein the protagonists are in a Universe where G is so high people have noticeable gravity on each other). Of course, I realise that in such a world the smaller size of a star would likely prevent the evolution of intelligent life unless it's a dwarf...

One presumes, in terms of spaceX last week, that this happened shortly after the booster underwent 'HydroBraking'.

Which could even then be not used on certain worlds, to simulate ones that have no magnetic field. Unless you're proposing some sort of fancy Gyro Compass....

I had a similar problem earlier, all my craft kept flying to the left as if my A key was stuck. On close inspection, the small indicator in the bottom left corner that displays pitch, roll and yaw had a very small (like, one pixel) offset on the offending axis. Using trim controls - shift and 'D' in this case - fixed it back to normal. For me though, it fixed itself when I restarted the game.

And in reality, this can give a 'deep stall' when stalled air from the main wing is all that is flowing around that T-Tail. Rare, but can be an unrecoverable situation (tends to occur if there is a T-tail and the main wings are on the bottom of the fuselage). That said, unless you want to use FAR, that won't be a problem in KSP.

Nice. I couldn't bear to use the lightspeed scroll past Earth, though. Far too long. KSP is roughly 1AU across isn't it?

This is a very useful trick. In fact, I think I got a Stayputnik to Mun and possibly back by doing this when I forgot solar panels. It was a pain, but when it's a no reverts career mission, it's worth it.

Well, both of my fails that are worthy did get to space. One seemed to get eaten: The other was weird. It started during re-entry, so technically it went back to space today.... Well, my calculator tells me that is 4.3 million c..... not bad for an unassisted engineer chip!
