Never let go Jeb.

Ok so here's my issue...

Every time I perform EVA I get flung from my rocket, not so far that I can't get back to my rocket, but far enough to cause concern perhaps 200m in the worst case. This happens EVERY time I EVA so it's getting a little annoying, If doesn't matter whether I'm in deep space or in an LKO it's always the same. Also once I finally make it back to my rocket. I am often flung away again as soon as I hit "F" to grab the ladder and it sometimes takes two or three attempts to get back inside.

I'm currently running mechjeb remote tech and protractor,

Please help, I don't want to loose another kerbal

This sounds like you have some parts too close to the hatch, and your kerbal is clipping into them while leaving. Can you post a screenshot?

Switching into "free" camera mode before letting can help. If you've got nothing over the hatch, then your kerbal may be colliding with the ship as it tries to re-orient itself the camera.

I can't post anything just yet as I'm at work but the particular design in question is a MK1 pod with 2 goo tanks strapped to the sides but rotated so they align vertically with the white lines on the tank. the bottoms of the goo tanks are quite a distance from the hatch but the tops are maybe just slightly close. I'll try a redesign tonight

That description sounds like a setup I've used plenty of times without a problem. And there's nothing else attached? No mechjeb core or comm antenna?

Not on that face, generally I have MJ applied to the lower stages (occasionally to the back face since it weighs nothing ) and my comm antennas are fitted between the Goo and the parachute.

Rotating them might actually be your problem. If you just strap two on the sides with symmetry on and slide them down to a low point on the sides, they shouldn't block the hatch.

After rotating my goo tanks and placing them as low as reasonably possible it sees to have fixed it. Jeb is now safe thanks guys
