OK, I'm trying to build a Tellumo to orbit vehicle. To those of you that haven't got Galileo planets pack, think of Eve, but with an oxygen atmosphere and vegetation. Very pretty it is too, but the challenge of getting out of that gravity well justifies extreme measures. Mark 1 cockpits get too hot, and mk2 and 3 are just too heavy and draggy. So for the first time I'm resorting to putting a command chair inside a mk1 bay. Is there a way to do this that doesn't result in body horror/nightmare fuel/invoke the kraken when clicking the "leave seat" button? Anyone got a finished subassembly? I've tried mounting the seat so the head end faces out the open hatch, but i think the helmet gets stuck on the rim. I'm positioning the seat as far back as possible without any of the tubing it is built out of clipping through the rear walls or floor of the bay. When seated, nothing pokes outside.

So I decided to do asteroids. Never had much luck before but after watching about 200 videos, and buoyed by the recent success of the Buran 11F35 Kerbal 1 I decided to try and land an asteroid...On Kerbin....From interplanetary space....Using my Buran replica shuttle. Oh and Patcan Kerman would try and become the first Kerbal ever to re-enter from interplanetary space while riding an asteroid attached to a shuttle. Let's see how the crew got on: Now I'm hesitantly claiming a couple of firsts here, but happy to be corrected. I think I might be: First to land an asteroid on Kerbin using a shuttle replica. First ever chair riding asteroid aerobrake from interplanetary space. If I'm this, then I'm also the First ever chair riding asteroid aerobrake from interplanetary space using a shuttle replica haha! Firsts or not I had a blast doing this mission, learnt all about intercepting asteroids, and learnt that my shuttle replica was way more capable than I thought. as a result I thought it worth sharing!
