Going to the space center after Mun landing

[NullF0x]

I just landed on the Mun for my first time!

I can't go back to the space center though, the button is grayed out.

I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks!

There are a couple of reasons this might be happening. You can try quicksaving (F5) to see if that gives an error message describing your problem.

1. Throttle down completely (press X.)

2. If your vehicle is wheeled, put on the brakes (toggle next to the altimeter at the top of the screen) to make sure that you are completely stopped.

That's pretty much it for the Mun. Congrats on your landing though!

Two other reasons why you can't switch out of a vehicle don't apply here, but are common:

3. If you're in flight on a planet with an atmosphere, you can't switch away, you can only end the mission.

4. If you're about to crash into the ground (what qualifies as "about to crash" depends on the planet) then you can't switch away.

ETA:

Someone posted a bug earlier concerning the large rover wheels causing problems with being able to switch to the space center on Minmus (and on Gilly when I tried them on an even lower-g planet.) Are you using the Rovemax Model 3 wheels on this vehicle? I'm not aware of them causing any problems on the Mun, but they could be, I suppose. Basically they cause the vehicle to make continual small bounces and never actually settle down to rest.

Hahaha.

I feel dumb. It was the throttle. I didn't think about it since I did my last stage boosting the cabin away.

Thank you so much! Also, that was a lot of useful info.

I do the same thing at least twice a KSP session. Glad that helped.
