Kerbin Planetary Exploration Agency - chapter 5 we have a problem

[kerbinorbiter]

Today in a board meeting of the KAS Kerbin Astronomical Society it was concluded that the Kerbin Space Agency needed to log its ventures in order to expand Kerbin's Knowledge  

currently this is what we are tracking right now according to the Space Agency's tracking station.

Current plans include expanding the GEO network around KEO, launching exploration missions for the KAS and of course testing other rockets and technological advancements 

our goals as set by the KAS currently consists of: launching a Kerbal into orbit, launching more satilites and a challenge that we think is impossable set by the mastermind, Elon Kerman to test systems for a planned landing of a first stage booster... the head rockiteer, Whener Von Kerman has refused to try to pull off this feat of mathematical ingenuity  although the KAS has told the Agency that if it doesn't pull of these feats the Agency's funding will be cut however can fail to do Elon's request because it is so advanced

CHAPTER 2 - well i guess it is possable

Elon Kerman got the better of the KPEA (with a 7 billion fund deal) and got a launch window on the KLV 2.5 a 2.5 meter rocket, the payload: the KPR-7 Capsule, but it needed to be crewed so Jebediah stepped up along side Valentina Kerman but the KPEA declined Val's offer as she was to be the first kerbal with a 100% survival chance when landing

there was a problem, the SLT of the booster was too low on the first stage Elon stated "Why dont they add moar boosters" in the following KAS confrence so the deal was done the KPR 7 Capsule was to be launched from Mount Snowey Air force Station (MSAF) in the hope that the altitude would help the rocket lift off with its less than ideal SLT but it didn't matter as the Engineers had allready put boosters on the rocket so it will lift off fine, the final countdown started

Spoiler

Chapter 3 - Did it work?

After communications were shut off shortly before atmospheric interface, Mission control asked Jeb for his Periapsis, theorised landing distance and speed to tell the team of scientists and recovery crews at Lodonie isles, the runway had been leased to the KSC team for that day. They triangulated his position upon the time of the landing, mission control set the plane to take off and land to recover Jebediah, the mission was a succsess. Jeb although exausted after having to disable the script manualy as it hovered (thanks @HerrCrazi for telling me about that script ) Yet, it was fine, it touched down perfectly. Jebediah had done the impossable, the KPEA had acheved a first big milestone!

However Elon wasn't happy

Chapter 4 - getting onto the launch market

Kerbin had developed a launch market for satilites, A company, Rokomax approached KPEA to launch their constilation of 30 satilites over the next year, they agreed while trying to focus on space stations operations for the next few months

CHAPTER 5 - Kerbin, we have a mad Jebediah

after launching towards the KSS that had launched that last day, Jebediah went mad after he was calculating something in before launch, when interogated he said "Im calculating the angle to eve for fun" mission control acknowlaged and let him only that was a bad discision as 20 minutes after launch, he did the unthinkable, with no other pilot to overpower him used his calulations and manualy without manuvure nodes. Went to Eve when mission control found out as he had planned it to the nearest LOS. Elon seems happy.

the KEPA has decided to allow jebediah to do this as Bob secretly changed the crafts design so it seems like a group effort. KPEA will investigate further when the capsule returns next kerbin year
