TIL that a RCS fuel tank and a command pod connection can't handle 10 Gs. OR The story of how I returned from the Mun with only a RCS fuel pod left to tell the tale.

TL;DR: Picture (There's suppose to be a command module in this picture).

I've orbited the Mun, I've crashed into the Mun, I've even landed and taken off from the Mun. But I've never returned a single Kerbal back to mother Kerbin... and that still hasn't changed. D:

But this time, I made a lander with a wider base, more fuel for the return trip, and the great Engineering Redux mod... and after setting course for the Kerbal Space Center, how hard could I fuck up a parachute landing?

Turns out, I had two goes at it.

Pucker Moment One. Who knew I'd fall faster?

And well, suddenly this.

The post-mortem.

In summary: you see the RCS tank between the parachute and the command pod? DON'T DO THAT OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN!

A moment of silence for Kerbal-nauts everywhere.
