Hi fellow kerbanaughts! I have a space station orbiting Kerbin which used to have enough battery stored electric to make it through the night, but now it doesn't! Nothing has changed, and it is still fully recharging during the day, so I guess that the batteries must be degrading? Do they do this over time? If not, why do I not have enough power now?

Many thanks! This was so helpful!

I previously put the cabin crew module right at the top of my rocket, followed by computer, then fuel and engine. I lifted to orbit, collected one stranded Kerbal in orbit halfway to Mun, then went into Muner orbit to collect another. It was very early in career mode, but I think I turned a very tidy profit from the mission. I landed it with 2 radial parachutes (or maybe 3, I can't remember!)

Thanks all! I did it exactly as Snark suggests: landed on engine and tilted over onto the tires, it worked a treat! This was Jack Kerman's first successful landing and launching back into orbit. I am playing career mode and this little baby will be able to nip down to the Mun and return science to the orbiting Mun Station Kalfa and is fully reusable! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!

Hi fellow kerbanaughts! I'm trying to land a rover on the Mun, but landing at around 5 m/s is apparently enough to pop my wheels! Am I doing something wrong? I am using a nerv engine to decelerate my horizontal speed, then flipping upright to suicide burn close to the surface before flipping back horizontal to use RCS thrusters to control my final landing speed. Here is a screenshot of my lander;
