This kind of stinks if you have a spaceplane that just barely doesn't make it to orbit, and it ends up landing on the opposite side of Kerbin.

Well I was able to dock, but I'm not 100% sure how.

I can get within a half kilometer of the other ship, I even got within .1 kilometers once. I just can't kill my velocity relative to the second ship without drastically altering my orbit so it doesn't even come close to the second ship. I've watched some video tutorials and people seem to be able to magically kill their velocity without changing their orbit, while I'm whizzing by the second ship at 100 m/s. Any help would be appreciated.
