Locked in syndrome! Any help?

[Dzerards]

I've got a space station in orbit around Minmus, but when constructing it accidentally placed a RCS block on the door to the cupola module and now Bob is trapped. It says the exit is obstructed. I'm not one to leave a Kerbil behind. Anyone got any ideas how to get him out?

I'm thinking either create a robotic arm and try to scrape it off the door or to send the space station core back to Kerbin and dock a shed load of parachute modules on to it then splash it down in the ocean!

That is something I will be looking out for in future now!! good luck with that

[Cmmndrme]

Wow! That's something I will have to check all my ships for now. good luck getting him home!!

Does that space station have any other living space where he should be able to live other than the cupola? If the answer is yes, I recommend you to use the "Crew Manifest" plugin, it adds the, for me, basic function to move kerbals from one module to another inside a ship or station, as they are supposed to be able to do if it where a real ship.

Also, there's a mod out there that allows you to detach and relocate stock radial parts from EVA, You could install it, fly another 'naut over to the station, and simply move the RCS block by hand.

If you don't mind the debug menu, you could probably use whack-a-kerbal to shoot off the RCS block. If you're going to do that, make sure to quick save before. If you want to stay without the debug menu, a splashdown would most likely destroy the RCS port, but i question the structural integrity of docking a parachute module. If all else fails, just recover the cupola on kerbin.

Remember, by the way, kerbal. Good luck on saving Bob.

I believe the correct answer is: build another spacecraft and bring it up to the station, then fire all engines and aim directly at the rcs block, knocking it into space.

I've run into this problem so many times.

What you have to do is (If you brought a satellite with you)

You have to propel something smaller than the RCS block at a higher speed than it's impact tolerance rate. It should go clean through the tank, blowing it up to let your kerbal escape.

OR

You could cheat with the KSP command console's (Alt+F12) "Whack-A-Kerbal" (Some wouldn't consider it cheating).

Pretend Bob never existed in the first place. Move on to the next missions.

happened to me once, on my next rendevouz with the station i made sure to fly straight into the part that was obstructing the door, it got the part off, and killed 3 kerbals in the process but i got the part off!

I would deorbit it with the parachutes.

Or use crew manifest to move it to a adjacent module, and deorbit the fault cupola.

[Dzerards]

Crew manifest mod did the trick. All Kerbals back home and accounted for!

I would make a gigantic flower out of sheets of metal add three kerbals plus a stayputnik pod and... oh wait you got it fixed, well I guess I don't need to tell you my plan then.

Please, do continue.
