Due do some impatient errors, I ended up out of fuel from Duna en-route to Kerbin in a not-ideal orbit. I was going about 6100m/s and could not successfully aerobrake without dying (in my "simulations"). Using DE + FAR combo. I did some minor aerobraking and launched a refueling probe, which gave me enough fuel to adjust a bit and return to try again. It still wasn't ideal but I successfully reentered the Kerbin atmosphere (DE + FAR) going about 5000m/s in the Mk1-2 pod with a heat shield. I removed all attachments from the pod (Kerbal Attachment) except the radial chutes and I burned up all the mono-propellant. I jettisoned the rest of my ship and had a periapsis of about 31km. Doing a little of that pilot-sh*t, I was able to fly the pod in at about 1300C without burning up and kill enough velocity to capture into orbit. Net result was about +6000 science. *shew*
