Rescuing Bob from LKO

[whatsEJstandfor]

Due to many errors (some mine, some the game's), Bob was tragically stranded in LKO in a command pod with no dV. Needing a rescue mission fast, Val volunteered (valunteered?) to fly a stock Kerbal-K2 to rendezvous with Bob, extract him from his command pod, and return safely back to Kerbin.

It took Val a while to figure out the new maneuver planning, especially since she couldn't see target intercept distances while adjusting the maneuver nodes. However, after a few Kerbin orbits, she got close enough to Bob's cold, dark capsule for him to jump out and spacewalk to Val's.

They rode down together into the sunset, only missing the KSC by a hair's breadth*
