LoL, I sometimes EVA out of a spinning ship (like I did this time) and I try to time it so the ship explodes the opposite way of where the kerbal is and it sort of acts as a catapult like for you... He dies anyway so it's really pointless in doing so.
ROFL, I'm still laughing here! I EVA'd outta my spinning plane and landed on the SPH tower! The results are amazing! Vlad the 3rd anyone? I just wish I had that on video... Anyway, feel free to post something you've seen!
