Search for the Kraken! [What even is?]

Just had a amusing run in with the kraken, added a new section to my standard craft (basically 4x 3 large fuels and the large rocket, with two more attached to those... see the attached pic)

let her rip just to see how how it would work... it worked great with mechjeb. so going for broke i added an additional large fuel to each.

left mechjeb off and just used ASAS for this straight up test, worked fine (if i ignored the lag) until just around 65000M when my ship decides to go end over end... at the rate of one spin every half second.

Amazingly it didn't blow up, so i decoupled me large rockets, but that destroyed one of my smaller rockets and one of its fuel tanks, deciding that that was no big deal, i powered her up and.... span all over the place... killed the thrust and detached again only for the ship to go straight into another fast spin that whacked the newly detached pieces... big booms in space and I'm down 3 kerbals (again)

seems that when mechjeb is used it counters the kraken quite nicely. was able to get all the way to a Mun orbit on my first stage :P
