If they are spinning through space (like because of a ladder glitch) you can stop them spinning by time warping. It might not work for falling down a hill though, since timewarp is not allowed while "moving over the surface."

Early in my first career, once I had aircraft pretty much figured out, I accepted a mission to collect soil samples in the Highlands near the north pole. I build a small one-kerbal Mk1 plane and flew there, piloted by Ace Pilot Stelicca Kerman. After a few circles, I found a flat spot to land within walking distance of the Alpha site, so I landed, got out and walked to the target zone. I took the sample and started walking back. Then I had this conversation with myself: "Hey, is the plane moving?" "It looks like it's moving slowly backwards." "It's moving faster! You set the parking brake didn't you?" "..." "RUN! We can still catch it!" Stelicca ran as fast as he little legs could carry her. She almost reached the ladder just before the plane pitched over the edge of a cliff and smashed to bits 70m below. I recovered Stelicca and what was left of the plane, but I still had two soil samples to get. I built another plane and flew again to the Beta site. Had to land on a hillside for this one but if I pointed the nose uphill and set the parking brake, the plane stayed put. Stelicca got out to collect the next sample. as soon as she's off the ladder, the plane tips up until it's resting on its tail. it doesn't roll downhill, but the ladder was dangling a few meters off the ground, out of Stelicca's reach. I had to recover them separately again and fly back again. Three planes for three soil samples. Not a major loss, but definitely a facepalm moment.

Anyone have an answer for this? I'm still trying to figure it out. To me it's C or maybe something looser. Here's what I did: I accepted a contract to put a "newly discovered" class B Asteroid in Kerbin Orbit. So I found one in the tracking station and started tracking it. While waiting the 100 days or so for it to get closer I accepted a new contract to put a "newly discovered" class B asteroid in Mun orbit. When I finally got to the Asteroid, green check boxes lit up for both contracts. I put the Asteroid in Kerbin Orbit. Waited my ten seconds (plus several days to line up the intercepts) and brought it to the Mun and accomplished both contracts with one asteroid. So previously tracked Asteroids still count as "Newly Discovered" Which raises the question: what else counts? I just accepted a couple of new asteroid contracts, so I'll do some experimentation.
