An almost successful "Rescue Jeb" mission

Recommended Posts

I had built a craft with hardly any tech capable of getting to the mun and back with a cargo of 1 Jeb. The craft worked perfectly except for a staging mishap in Kerbin orbit and a slightly too low engine (1 out of 3) when landing on the Mun, but other than that everything went well. The ship landed, jeb took all the science from his ship and brought it to the capsule of his new rescue ship which is connected to a reaction wheel and then connected to the Mk 1 airplane capsule. Getting back was flawless, except for the parachute. I had only put chutes on the airplane capsule, not the rescue one. So when the chutes deployed, I was powerless watching Jeb's capsule snap off from Bill's and plummet to the ground...

An hour of work reverted away :( Next time I'll put a chute on Jeb's capsule as well. Sorry for the lack of pictures, I didn't think I would need any (even though it was my first rescue mission ever out of the 2 years I've been playing).
