That darn Alt-f12...

I was testing a Career mode Duna flight, Apollo style, so I turned off gravity to see if the NERVA's weren't blocked by the lander. They weren't. That was good. So, I stuck an SLS launcher on it (Yep, I was almost done with the Tech Tree) and shot off to orbit. Thing was, I was on a Kerbol escape trajectory BEFORE I LEFT KERBIN'S ATMOSPHERE!

I was like, "WTF is happening here?! Are the SLS engines really that overpowered?!"

So, SLS ran out of fuel, and I had overshot Duna by a large margin. And I decided, "Ah, why not. I'll get them home safely." (What really happened was that I hit "Space Center" instead of "Revert to VAB" )

So I set up a Kerbin intercept. And then as I was burning (A 6-min burn, but NERVA's, so no problem) I realized that the mission wasn't a total waste, because the Duna lander had a materials bay and goo canisters. So I got science from a High Solar Orbit. Yay

And then I aerobraked at Kerbin. Sorta. I was moving at 1000 m/s or so and still on a Kerbin escape trajectory. Again, "WTF?"

Guess what had happened. Yep, I forgot to turn gravity back on...

Oh, well. At least I got the 550 SCIENCE! points.

EDIT:

And I realized something else. The thing would have a hard time landing at Kerbin. It did have a hard time. I wanted the science from the lander, but to do that I got the CSM capsule, stuck it on the lander, and landed with it.

Redesigning Time!
