Rescue

[SiliconPyro]

Well, that didn\'t take long. Jeb was my first Kerbal on Minmus. Here he is standing proudly against the backdrop of his faithful lander.

Unfortunately, he mistook the LAUNCH button for the DECOUPLE button.

I guess it\'s up to Bob and Bill now to stage a rescue. There\'s a catch though. Jeb managed to get back inside the capsule, but he can\'t get out again. This might require some ingenuity.

Hopefully my next post will be good news!

Why can\'t he get out? If the door is facing down, you know capsules can roll themselves, right? Hit yaw, ptich, and roll, and it will hop around until it eventually settles upright, freeing up the door. That\'s how Bildred turned a depressing crash site into a homey camping spot in which to await rescue:

Shame they can\'t get any of the fuel into the engine. I\'m sure he\'d love a liquid fuel campfire.

I don\'t know why I didn\'t even consider that add I\'ve done it before, although for other purposes. Is try it now, but it\'s 0200 and way past my bedtime.
