Help: how to long do you rag doll in space?!

[Brainlord Mesomorph]

Bill just tried to grab onto a ladder, hit his head and went totally rag doll, is now flying away from the ship at high velocity and won’t turn on his retro pack.  On the surface, you rag doll until you come to a halt, Bill won’t be coming to a halt in space!

What do I do?!

hmm, I assume you have a save so experimentation is allowed... Switch to the vessel and time warp and go back to normal speed, this is good to stop spinning vessels, maybe it will stop a ragdoll.

Push WASD, then he will un-ragdoll, and you can turn on the jetpack

thanks guys I've saved and quit

I also have a constructor bot with a claw on a lower orbit. I'll be trying these things in the morning

I think I tried that.

Easy solution to un-ragdoll:  F5, F9.  Saving-then-loading will un-ragdoll them.  The game doesn't save the "ragdolled" state.
