Also,if the persistence file is what i think it is,dont click on the jebidiah kerman,because when you do,your game crashes

Good job on making it back guys! if you can,also get jeb back home as a bonus

Took me a heck of a lot longer. I didn't have a good feel for how much fuel was left, so I was loath to orbit-scrape, and went for the old "outside track"method. Also was running the fuel-bug fix.

Basically, what I did was sight across Kerbin's orbit, head to an orbital node, and match planes. Then it was a matter of pulling in the apoapsis, raising the periapsis, and riding the outside track. I went for a near-circular orbit that ranged from about 13,550 Mm to 13,580 Mm, to try to ensure that I'd pass through the 84,000 km radius sphere of Kerbin's SOI.

Then it was the waiting game.

Probably could have done some precise calculations with the Navball. Should have tried that. Ah, well.

I'll give it to you, you had a much safer touchdown.

nutt,im assuming your going to get a rocket,throw a person out,go to kerbin

(ps,throw the guy out in the atmosphere out of kerbin )

also note,you CANNOT go on E.V.A with jeb,my kerbal space program crashed when i tried,i hope it doesnt for you.

also also note () jeb was hit by his rocket,thats why hes on eva flying through space
