The Kerbal Elevator: Abusing KSP physics for fun and profit!

[GusTurbo]

Ever wanted to move Kerbals around instantaneously within the confines of the stock game? Look no more. All you need is a command chair and a little creativity.

How it works:

The key to getting this to work is to place a command chair inside of another part. When you have done this successfully, leaving the command chair will cause the kerbal to pop out on top of whatever object is above it, moving head-first. This extends to any part on top of the original part blocking the point of exit.

Does this work in micro-gravity?

[GusTurbo]

I haven't tested that yet. I could probably use "Hack Gravity" in the debug menu to replicate the effect.

[update]

I've tested it with hack gravity and it works.

a teleporter - watch out for flys

I've seen this bug before. discovered it durring a livestream.

Clean documentation and presentation, I like it

[Overfloater]

This guy could really have used it...

...on his RSS Venus lander

Kerbal Youtubers always have good music choice.

Nice one Gus. Ive always wondered if the 'popping up' kerbal phenomenon could be exploited. Could be a way of simulating crew transfer?

Does it work with two long ships docked together?

Nice abuse of physics I have noticed the behavior before but never realized it could be used this way.

All hail the kraken!

Further testing is required.

I had actually thought about using this for an Eve lander like the one Overfloater posted.
