A "kill velocity" feature for EVA RCS thrusters

[kerbonaut101]

I lost my first kerbal due to it impacting the surface of the Mun to quickly (I was trying to slow him down but couldn't) and he was killed on impact with the Mun's surface... would it be possible to add a feature where you can kill the velocity of a Kerbal using RCS and then lower the Kerbal gently to the surface?

This would be awesome. It might be a little complex though because of orbital speeds. For example, in Low Kerbin Orbit, stuff orbits at around 2800 m/s (give or take). It would be hard for the game to decide if you wanted to shed the 7 m/s extra driving you towards a solar panel, or the 2800 m/s you have orbiting the planet.

Sure, but if the thrusters he's got don't have that kind of power anyway... well, you can't kill velocity if you don't have the thrust to do it quickly enough to avoid death.
