Oops! Sorry guys

Recommended Posts

I have installed a few (OK several) planet packs - OPM, Kronkus, Asclepius, and Arkas. My night sky is littered with sparkly planets. Lately I have been obsessed with Arkas. It is a desert world with mountains and volcanoes. The atmosphere gets thick at the surface making chute landing a breeze. The surface is rolling dunes of sand. It all looks pretty level until you try to land. Tried 3 real land and return missions. One ended with an explosion (it is KSP after all). One with a tipped over landing (I reverted). One I finally stuck the landing but lacked the TWR to attain orbit (d'oh). So I have been using Hyper Edit to figure out what is needed for ascent. This morning I made orbit with sufficient dv for a return to kerbin. Yeah! In one year... Boo!

So, I went to the space center to decide if I wanted to wait a year or, you know, kill Harney. My no Kerbal left behind sensibilities kicked in and I decided to wait. Then I started looking at the in progress missions. What is this landed on Asclepius? I don't remember an incomplete mission there. Switched to fly the ship and discovered 4 kerbalnauts sitting in a hitchhiker can, on its side, stuck a really steep hillside.... O yeah. I forgot about you guys. Uhmm sorry? Guess I should design a passenger rover and go get them.

Anyone else ever stumble on Kerbals you had forgotten? (Please make me feel better and say yes)

Heh, the times I've forgotten about some of my guys have always been in LKO. I'll put a ship in orbit well in advance of it's escape window, and then sometimes forget that I had a mission planned. When Alarm Clock would indicate that the mission was approaching, I might end up building a second rocket. :) This has mostly happened with unmanned probes though. I think I only forgot about Kerbals only once or twice.

I've been thinking lately I need to get Alarm clock, but then I would need to start giving my vessels meaningful names. As for life support, wouldn't I then need an office complex bigger than R&D to house all the necessary law teams?

I have so many Kerbals stranded on the Mün... When I had my DMP server up, I stranded so many Kerbals and forgot about them, because I thought that they were other people's ships.
