Coming In For A Perfect Landing When... OOPS!

I was slowing down for a perfect landing at ground level but didn't watch where I was going (so used to having a sparse landscape). The lander was designed for low gravity moons so landing on Kerbin was a stress test. It should JUST make a decent landing under parachute and nuke rocket.... but the height of the VAB screwed it up. Was amazed the whole thing didn't blow up tbh.

Actually I got them off by hitting the abort button because the top part is a mini lander hehe. You can see the legs I had just extended when I thought to take the screenshot. Hit the abort and those sepatrons fire and blew me right off the roof. Nearly screwed up though as I had forgotten that I had already used the parachutes and then had to land on the retro thrusters and I was a little late and slammed into the ground and smashed the rest of the ship to bits but Jeb and Bill crawled out of the wreckage lol.

Oh and landing on the VAB would have been more impressive if I had done it on purpose. When I hit the roof I think I jumped a mile because I wasn't expecting it heh.
