I just did some more futzing around, and I think the intended effect is as follows. By landing more X Kerbals you have X samples taken at any given time. By having 1+X Kerbals in a craft transmitting data, you may increase the total data sent in a transmission period. I will test this tomorrow as I have yet to get a 2 man lander on the mun.

I just ran some tests and it seems that any surface samples taken by a kerbin are deposited, and then tied to the first craft he enters, and do not move with the Kerbal. This drastically lowers the value of lander based missions, and favors direct ascent mission profiles. Is this an intended feature of am I not getting something. I would like to run a legitimate Apollo or ZOND science mission Profile but it seems thats seems useless now.

That doesnt help if my capture orbit is not pointing east, does it?

Uh so is there anyway to change your inclination or heading in the ascent guidance? Im having trouble with my Apollo style mission where my CM is orbiting clockwise, and my LM launches an orbit counter to that, and welp cant dock that way.
