Coming in close to add another chunk to the orbital refueling station. Jeb is sitting around in the station having just replaced bill a little over an hour ago thanks to my first spaceplane that actually managed to reach the refueling station, thanks to helpful bay 12 advice.
I send up a more normal rocket to deliver some kethane tanks, and winches. Part of a long overdue station expansion project. I get in close and decide that since I rendezvous-ed manually I deserve the opportunity to watch how mechjeb docks, maybe I've been doing it wrong.
The moment I hit the docking autopilot mechjeb springs into action, crashing the station and the expansion's solar panels together, scattering both of them to the non existent winds, spins around doing a barrel roll smashing the expansion's other long solar panel over the station's fuel tanks (which fortunately don't explode), then pulls up taking out the station's other solar panel with the expansion's docking port. All while saying it was trying to avoid a collision.
At this point, I dunno if I was too close when I activated it or if mechjeb's autodocker is just a destroy everything you love button, or if it's simply a strategic solar panel eliminator.
As for the death, I don't know where they get their oxygen from but I bet it doesn't work too well without power. Jeb is doomed.
