Finally assembled my new computer after two days building it, because I made myself a promise that I would only do a step of the assembly in between parts of the work I'm doing. As I finished the job, I finally got to install the system, and got to reinstall it because I put it on the wrong partition. Alright, I'll take it, because after it I can finally play KSP.
Well, I decided to remove a part from my station, so I sent my de-orbiting rocket, but first I made some adjustments to make the RCS more efficient.
I didn't question why I was unable to target the docking port until it bounced off the station - I had removed the docking port at KSC. Okay, I'll just de-orbit it and fix it.
Fixed the rocket again, launched... And once again it bounced off the station. "Hot damn, I must have forgotten to set the proper staging for it", I thought. Can you spot the error in that sentence?
Already very frustrated, I fixed the rocket once again and launched to the worst orbital intercept I ever made. Anyway, I then decided to check if the station could target the port as soon as it got into range. It still couldn't.
So I switched back to the de-orbiter and right clicked the docking port.
The button label reads: "Decouple"
So I decided to watch the deorbiter reentry until it hit the ground, just to see how are the graphical effects in the new computer. And quit.

Today was frustrating.
