Tourist on board--they won't EVA.

Maybe you can convince them they've won a contest and the prize is permanent residency on board this brand new space station.

If you had more torque, you might be able to use body lift to save yourself here ... I tend to use a similar craft at the start (but with only one crew cabin) and angling it maybe 15 degrees above the velocity vector on reentry usually keeps it from dropping too fast at the end.

The link to the save is not working for me.

can passengers eva? having a brain fart here, but I'd try to get that craft into a stable kerbin orbit, and send up another craft to rescue them, get close and eva everyone over to the other craft.  The way to do it is to eva the pilot out of the capsule and have him space walk, then transfer a passenger into the capsule (since I do remember you can't eva from the crew pod) It will be annoying to shuffle them over one at a time, but as long as it's possible to eva a passenger, its doable to save the mission.  You won't need docking clamps, just get into a close orbit with the stuck craft and fly the kerbals over 1 by 1.  Do try to have a passenger preform an eva before building a rescue ship.  I think they will work basically like rescuing some stranded kerbal, but there might be a flag on them preventing crew transfers or eva.

Oh man, no, I think tourists can't EVA, so that option is no use, you'd have to dock, or as you have no docking port, claw the other vessel, if Kerbals can still be squeezed through the Klaw that is.

Edit:

Kerbals can be squeezed through the Klaw!

He'll need to push the craft to reduce his orbit without spending fuel. Just EVA and have jeb fly against his ship. 

Can the craft survive a 69x70 deorbit?

[sal_vager]

I think you'll need one of these.

 

The landing gear has a touch of Kraken about them, but it will settle down once you get it into the atmosphere.

Good luck!
