Today I rescued a guy who's been stranded on eve since july. <iframe class="imgur-album" width="100%" height="550" frameborder="0" src="http://imgur.com/a/WlxCP/embed"></iframe> 100% unpowered landing on eve, the only damage was two torn off parachutes and inline stabilisers, and most of the legs couldn't retract. Ran out of fuel just barely before orbit, but bailing out with the jetpack was more than enough to make up the difference The missing pieces made it very difficult to hold the ship on target during liftoff. I wonder if I would have made orbit If I'd still had them to balance the center of gravity, or if I'd have fallen even shorter due to the extra mass..
