Is it the Kraken disguised as a mushroom from Mario? Is there any chance you've got the graphics set too high for your system and this is the graphics card or cpu having a hot flush? I play on a 1.8Ghz ASUS X552C laptop (*ahem* work uh laptop, for business) btw, works fine, just turn the graphics down a bit

Horseman, (and OP): I've come tearing in at 3500km/s+ from a botched Mun return where I burned (excessively) on the normal at closest point to Mun to get aero capture return with hardly any fuel for slow down. I hit around 25km and it took me 3 passes to slow down enough for capture.. (4 if you count the one I time warped through) The return vessel was as follows: Mk1 pod with 2 chutes (vertical) Reactionwheel with 2 chutes (horizontal) Science Junior with 4x thermometers attached Science Junior New Small cargo bay with 2 goo canisters and 6 batts New small cargo bay with 12 batts Heat shield An ugly beast - but didnt flip out at all, though I admit I released one of the 'horizontal' aligned chutes while shrouded in flames as I was getting worried for Jeb - who - unsurprisingly was smiling and laughing in his normal way.
