Hey Guys!

[Killerdude8]

New here, loving this game, just absolutely loving it!

Anyways, within my first 35 minutes of playing, I have managed to send my first kerbanaught into deep space. To put it into perspective, his orbit crosses with Jool.

He will not be returning home.

A moment of silence.

Lol, I hope to get acquainted with all you sometime in the coming weeks.

That's actually kinda impressive, to head straight out of the SOI that quick. Is he on a Solar Escape Orbit? If not, he can be recovered... We have the Technology...

[OathToAwesome]

That IS quite impressive. Now you'll just have to learn how to rendezvous so he can be rescued

[Killerdude8]

Initially it was supposed to be an orbit around kerbin and when I tried to adjust his trajectory.

Poof.

Just wen flying off on into deep space.

His orbit does return to kerbin, but kerbin is always a few hundred thousand meters ahead. In the future I will try to recover him, right now I am working on launching and docking my refueling module on my station.

Sounds like you encountered the Mun gravity field on one of your orbits. That will kick you out into a solar orbit. If you have sufficient fuel left, he can be recovered but it will take a while before his orbit comes close enough for a burn to intercept Kerbal.

Happy Launching!

Arrr!
