Watched what live? Sally Ride died of pancreatic cancer in 2012...on earth...in San Diego...

What are you trying to land on Kerbin that is so tall? A good set of landing struts can do wonders as long as you land on a flat surface and touch down nice an strait. You could always put them near the tip of the rocket so that they hit the ground first (once it has tipped over.). They might absorb enough of the impact to protect the rest of the rocket.

Thank you for the reply. They pretty much covered everything in the STEAM post, but thank you for taking the time to respond :-)

Wow, almost 24 hours and 85 views later and not one response. I just posted this in the STEAM forums and got an answer in 6 minutes!

I am toying with putting a science lab on Minmus but I have never done anything like this before. I am using TAC life support mod and thought about adding these to my life support section but I noticed that when added, they don't extend the number of days your resources last (at least not in the TAC window in the VAB). I assumed that if a large water and waste containers gave you X number of days worth of water and Y number of days worth of waste storage, that adding a purifier would give you X+ days worth of water and Y+ days worth of waste storage since you would be reclaiming some of that water instead of sending it to you waste tank. So how exactly do these things work? Also, I found my first anomaly today while landing at Minmus' Slopes biom. (was so excited when I realized what it was that I nearly crashed my lander lol) I put the lander down right next to it and sent Jeb on an EVA, but neither Jeb nor any of my equipment acknowledge it's presents. Is there a way to get science from them, or are they purely decorative?

I landed Bob on Minmus and was clicking on all my science bits (forgot to add them to action groups) and couldn't quite get to one shoved in the back of a materials bay. Tried to zoom in closer by holding shift and scrolling the mouse wheel, fired up the engines and sent the lander into a mountain side. Same mission, after restoring a save. Bob was bouncing around with his EVA pack trying to get back in the ship on the dark side of minmus and snagged something momentarily. I did think anything of it since it was hard to see. After getting him back into orbit I saved and sent him back home only to realize I was dead-stick when I came out of time-warp near Kerbin and Bob had died. He snagged the solar array and broke it off, ran out of power and thus life-support (I'm using TAC mod). . He will be missed.
