Yep, many times I forget the key for what I want to do. And as KSP expands, the number of command keys is increasing. What would you think of enabling the internal cockpit view so that selecting control panel buttons and switches actuated these commands? This would be in addition to whatever the key is, and might be an attractive feature to consider. One of these days I plan to fly a mission totally from within the internal cockpit view.

Jebediah was stranded on Mimus due to knocking his rocket engine cone off upon landing. After a brave rescue by Bill in a second craft, they are both now on a trajectory back to Kerbal. Bill is safely in his 1-man capsule drinking Tang. Jebediah is valiantly gripping the ladder on the outside. This will be a long rescue. Bill can thrust while Jebidiah is holding onto the ladder, but can't warp. But of course, Bill really didn't think this through before launching for a rescue in a 1-man capsule. Any suggestions what to do once I approach Kerbin? Can Jebediah hold on through reentry?

This challenge idea came to me. Maybe it\'s boring, but I thought I would mention it anyway. Use Kerbal to fly the Mercury and Gemini flights. Follow the orbit-inclinations and approximate altitudes of each flight (should be available somewhere). For the Gemini\'s that rendezvoused with spent Agena or other rockets, those would have to be launched first. At least one Gemini changed the plane of its\' orbit, and one boosted up to about 800 miles. Gemini 6 and 7 rendezvoused with each other. Then splashdown in a specific ocean. The rockets should look kind-of like the real ones, with the correct number of stages, etc. And do it all without killing any kerbal-nauts. A trip into real history, eh? (or too boring?)
