check your video drivers version., against the manufacturer's website. given it's tanking in the vab/sph  points it in that direction to start.

Copy the KSP folder from it's existing location to another one.
 
 

Do you have autostruts enabled and what are they set to?

Can't steal what is freely given. 
Though malware, no.  Leaving aside some of the edge-case softwares which to the best of my recollection have been removed from the code. 
Translated into English
i) your data maybe going to or through countries that have fewer restrictions on how your data is handled that where you are living right now.
ii) we get to post your gameplay
iii) we get to use your gameplay when taking to hardware makers, hosting companies, and the ad guys
iv) we're going to change this as needed/wanted
Don't like it, the recycle bin is right there.

As for it being a thing. Yes it is.

You have the speed set for orbit. The contracts look at surface speed.
Though for screenshots it is better to go with F1, or the Mac equivalent rather than using a phone. Unless you're on the console version and it's whatever works.

A quick mock up based on the pic in a stock ksp, and guessing at a Mailsail at the bottom of the stack, and a poodle in the middle.
KER reports ASL/VAC dv
S3 1139/3193
S2 1911/ 2079
S1 821/3193
The RCS is really hurting you though. Pulling that out added 1200 m/s ASL dv across the whole stack.

The acceptance of stories and mission reports is based on two things.
- Technical; spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. half of the stuff your English drones/droned on about in school.
- Literary; plot, characterisation, dialogue, symbolism, etc. the other half of the stuff your English drones/droned on about in school. Note English teacher, and not what that hipster jazz-poseur in that independent coffee shop  drones on about.
If you want to talk about taking a leap into that pool, we've got a pretty good writer's group here: 
 

Set the parachutes of the probe to the same stage as the one that separates the probe. You may want to increase the full deployment altitude to something more than the default one kilometer.
There is one consideration however, you will need to keep the probe and the carrier craft within 25km of each other until the probe touches down. I'm recalling 25 km anyways.

My reflex answer is we need pics.
But, I've had decent luck in reducing wobble with autostrut to grandparent

if you put this in their segment of the sfs

it will take them to 5 star status.
and apparently landing on Jool is worth 14 xp points.

the file is SubassemblyCategories.cfg found in %KSP%/gamedata/sqaud
not sure how the file is built though. but that would be the place to start.
 

copy the whole ksp folder to somewhere else, or when 1.1 hits rename the whole ksp folder and install 1.1.
