Ending Flights

Now since "End Flight" is removed, what do you do when a command pod successfully splashes down in the ocean? Do you just leave it there to be in the flight tracker for all of existence?

Go back to the space centre, then go to the tracking station. Select the flight you have just finished, then click on the yellow "recover" button. Job's a good 'un!

'Recover' is only active if you're on the surface of Kerbin (and ANYWHERE on the surface of Kerbin at that). If you're in space or on another planet, instead the 'Terminate Flight' button is active. The only principle difference at this time is that any Kerbals on a terminated flight will go onto the 'Missing' roster, whereas they go on the 'Unassigned' roster if they're recovered. By default, 'missing' Kerbals will respawn into the Unassigned roster after a period of time. So unless you've enabled permadeath by manually editing persistent.sfs, the only penalty presently for terminating versus recovering is that you temporarily lose the Kerbals on the flight.

In Career mode I assume 'Recover' will also bring back the parts on the craft in question, or something.

Now that the End Flight button is gone, how can we get a log of how a successful flight went? I've only seen it after crashes.
