Kerbal's lose all momentum when exiting jetpack mode

• KSP Version - 0.1.0.0.20892
• Operating System and version  Windows 10
• CPU and GPU models, any other system information which could be relevant - GTX 1080, Ryzen 5 3600
• Description of the bug.  
  • Expected Behavior - On the mun, when travelling via jetpack, kerbals should keep their momentum when exiting rcs mode.
  • Observed Behavior - When exiting jetpack mode, kerbals will stop in mid'air' and drop to the ground.
• Steps to Replicate - Land on mun, get kerbal out, plant flag, start flying long distance with jetpack, exit jetpack mode by hitting r.

Version: 0.1.0.0.20892

OS: Windows 11 Home 64bit (10.0, version 22621)

CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12600KF (16CPUs), ~3.7GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

Expected Behaviour:  Keep speed when putting away jetpack.

Observed Behaviour: Putting away the jetpack removes all speed except for about 9.2-9.3 m/s, if you are going faster than that speed.

Steps to replicate:  Land on the Mun, go on EVA, activate the jetpack, gain speed and put the jetpack away. If launched and gone on EVA after taking off, bug persists.

Workaround: Not putting the jetpack away.

• Operating System and version: Windows 10 v. 21H2
• CPU and GPU models: CPU: i7 6700K, GPU: GeForce GTX 1070
• Description of the bug.  
  • Expected Behavior: Kerbals falling from the orbit should not survive contact with the Mun surface
  • Observed Behavior: After reaching altitude of ~12km ASL, every time an EVA kerbal toggles on or off the jetpack, their velocity is reset to 0.
• Steps to Replicate:
  • Reach the Mun orbit above 12km
  • Go to EVA and decelerate using the jetpack
  • After reaching 12km altitude, toggle the jetpack
  • -> Kerbal's Velocity reaches 0
  • Wait until Mun's gravity increases kerbal's velocity again
  • Re-enable the jetpack
  • -> Kerbal's Velocity reaches 0
  • Using this trick you can safely land without ever using the jetpack to decelerate
• Fixes / Workarounds (if known..)
  • Don't use this trick
• A list of ALL mods.  If the list is long, please consider using a spoiler window.
  • None, vanilla only.
• Other Notes / Screenshots / Log Files (if possible..)
  • Probably the case on other planets, didn't test.

Apologies, this seems like a duplicate of the bug below. Hopefully, additional information (threshold of ~12 km) will be helpful.
