With all the cool stuff modded into the game where's the tether so you can EVA and still be attached to your ship? Of course a 10k tether would be a little much but you could use dental floss in space, it'd be strong enough, or a big spool of fishing line...LOL

Thank you for the info. Talk about stupid, Jeb went on a "Walk About" and now is truly "Lost In Space, errr Orbit" The rescue mission just got tougher, I decided to go the "boring" route and EVA him to the CM. Funny how everything seems to be the same, speed alt etc between the 2 ships but when I went to do my EVA they were now 10k apart. I thought oh well I can do this... Apparently not... My EVA skills seem to be as bad as my "making sure the lander has fuel" and my "all crew members are on board before launch" skills. It might be a long time before Jeb gets home now...LOL Any way to grab onto him with another Kerbal or do I need to use the "Klaw" on him? He might have to just float there for a few years... He was still smiling last I saw him though

Thanks, I figured it had to do with the docking port, how do you lock tanks and do you know how to refuel if I send the Auto Club out (Munar Club?)

Well not really lost, actually he's in a nice little orbit around the Mun in his lander. It started of as a flawless launch to the Mun (I thought), but after settling into a nice round 100k orbit I noticed something missing, Jeb was alone (not as intended) Pilot went Awol, hmmm maybe this what the "courage" stat is for Oh well I'll send Jeb to the Mun and hopefully dock with command module or get close to CM and EVA to it after visiting the Mun. Separate Lander from Command Module and..... No fuel in Lander. Somehow the CM used the Landers fuel Not sure what I did wrong there? So now I either have to EVA back to the CM (boring) or send a rescue mission for Jeb Ideally I'd like to refuel the Lander, complete the Mun mission and put the AWOL pilot back in the CM and get everyone home. I'm not sure how to refuel yet or if I can manage this but first I need to check for expiring contracts (career mode). I spent far too much time fooling around and have no idea how much time I burned doing this. All said though, I love this game!

Funny you ask this. I'm a complete noob, had the game a week maybe (well maybe not a complete noob, I have manage to orbit and return) That said I've seen the game on Steam for a long time and the cartoonish Kerbal look put me off for a long time, figured it was a simple "kids" game. Then playing around with Besiege I read a lot from people talking about KSP and decided to look at it again. I was soooo wrong! I love the game and now I don't want to kill any Kerbals (accidentally of course) So yes I might have bought the game sooner without Kerbals, but I'm glad they're there. To me I think Squad needs to do a better job marketing the game. I'm sure many more people would love it, who have the wrong idea of what exactly KSP is all about.
