I actually was recording when I made the most gnarly mun landing ever in KSP. I ran out of fuel, was going too fast to not explode. I moved Valetina to hang on the outside of the craft, and moments before impact, I had her jump off. The resulting explosion from the module was juuuust enough counter force to prevent Valentina herself from hitting the ground too hard and she lived to plant a flag. To date, it's the most impressive thing I've personally managed in the game.

You did that to recover her later, right? Right?

That's the plan. We're still working out how. How long can Kerbals live without food and water? 🤔

That reminds me Jedediah has been stranded on the Mun since around 2016, so I hope a long time hahahaha

Funny how forgetting a ladder on the capsule undoes hours of work. Poor Jeb.
