For the new playesr: always remember to pack a parachute...

[inigma]

Anyone else want to share their "oh Jeb! I forgot to pack a parachute!" moment, or a moment that you went "oh wow... I actually DID pack a parachute this time?"

I raced my friend to Minmus a couple years ago. We both forgot parachutes.

I mentioned it elsewhere, but I successfully landed a Twin Boar (ten tons of engine) without parachutes when the heat shield broke its fall.

Now THAT's funny!

Last night, I've put together a cargo ship with two wide, totally antiaerodinamic, exposed rovers on top and sent them to Minmus to do some component retrieval contracts and provide additional power to my small mining rig.

After setting up the maneuver node to burn to Minmus, I've realized I forgot the parachutes.

Which is one of the reasons why I love KAS - a rescue ship with plenty of parachutes to dismount and remount will be waiting for my cargo ship return
