I thought I had - I was doing a "landed" part test on the launch pad with Bill and decided, after completing the test, to get him out of the capsule and wander around, maybe get an EVA report from over on the runway or something ... as soon as he spawned on the capsule ladder, the game glitched. The screen went black except for the GUI elements. I could go to the space center screen but trying to go back to "fly" the landed craft gave me the same black screen. I had to quit KSP and reload it entirely, then reload my save, to get my game playable again. When I did, Bill was listed as "Missing" in the Astronaut Complex, though my craft was still sitting on the pad. A couple game-days later, he reappeared for duty. I'm glad I wasn't playing with perma-death enabled!

In my hard game my one star Jeb died in a tragic hill walking accident, which is what happens when you make Kerbals run over rough terrain at 4x acceleration, apparently.

Luckily I alt F4d and got him back, which is cheating but so is killing a Kerbal for running over a mountain peak so ner. :P

Level 5? Good grief! I just got my three guys to level one. I feel like a rank amateur when I come on these forums. Passing the Mun with level 1 buildings seems impossible to me. And I am too chicken to let kerbal die. I revert a lot :(

I got one, and I didn't manage to kill him... yet.

That doesn't mean that Kool Kaptain Kerberry Kerman (Using him as "zee kaptein" instead of Jeb due to his cool name and my BlackBerry obsession) has no scars. I managed to... uhm... miscalculate the landing zone and he and Jonwin ended up landing their STS-style plane in the middle of the ocean (and you know how evil water is in KSP). He has only surived thanks to FAR (Now we're even :) ). I stalled the plane about 3m over the water and crashed it tail-first, slowing the cockpit enough to survive.

TL; DR: Almost...

i had a scientist (steve kerman) exploring duna getting as much science as possible

i sent him to orbit to refuel his vessel. sent him back down and he became a delicious new fast food restaurant meal (burnt up because of deadly reentry)

fortunately all the science data was moved to the refuel ship beforehand
