For want of a clampotron...

I got the Large Rover (sorry, I'm just out of name ideas at this time), built around a horizontal 16,000 unit Kethane tank and two large drills, to orbit. Figured I'd top off the tanks with some leftover fuel in a tanker I'd used to top off Kleveland 3M to go to the Mun.

*cue rendezvous interlude music*

Got lined up and... oh kerbal krap! I forgot to put the clampotron back on top of the rover after I took it off to access the thin probodyne. I'm blaming This Guy for it.

The Large Rover had to be dumped. Rather than simply terminate it in tracking I decided to see if it could land on Kerbin and survive at all. Answer, no, but it left about 30 pieces of debris on the landscape. Will get pics of it once it's on the Mun.

So don't forget to check that all the parts are installed before launch!
