Apparently, if you have a kerbal EVA and hold onto the ladder of the hatch when it crashes, survival rate goes WAY up.  Try combining airhogging lithobrake with ladder survival jumps.

Greiger, you should totally try landing over water.

Trying to play interplanetary career with deathly consequences.  No easy reverts.  But I do revert because goddam Jeb keeps wiggling his way into EVERY capsule.

Get the three Immortals into capsules and walk them off the launchpad and leave them there. That way, they'll be active, and won't be the default choice. Just make sure you don't crash your spent fuel tanks onto them.

I sent a manned mission to Ike. It is currently in low orbit, ready to go home.

Wish me luck in getting a refuel pod over there. That Leander's carrying like 800 sciences.

Restarting career mode with mods, I land on the Mun in my second voyage.

But then...

Spoiler: Possible spoiler? (click to show/hide)

I notice an arch-like structure on the northern slopes of the East Crater. I don't have enough fuel to go check it out, and I can barely see it from my current landing spot but WTF?!

[Aseaheru]

Lucky sod. You found it without looking?

Or go into your save file and delete the three immortals. I believe that takes care of them.

I'm working under the assumption that Jeb is just an asshole for getting in the pod.
"Alder Kerbin you are clear for launch."
"Th-Thank you command."
"Are you alright Alder, you sound... funny."
"Y-Yes everything is fine thank you command."
"...Jeb is that you?"
"THIS IS MY ROCKET!"
"Jeb you've been on 17 consecutive missions, you actually need medical care!"

[Aseaheru]

You can load everything from the VAB.

[Siquo]

Yep. I spotted a weird shadow while doing my descent but was so low on fuel that I couldn't get closer. The fact that it's on (or near) the equator probably helps with finding it, though.

Only easter egg I know is

the one monolith near the KSP, yep, the easiest one

Everyone that's arguing over the details of medieval siege weaponry in this thread is missing the point and promptly needs to be scheduled for the next available rocket flight out of atmosphere.

Yes it fainly worked!!! Now put me on the next flight with jeb

Spoiler: jool shenanigans (click to show/hide)

there's actually an easter egg 100 meters beneath jool's sea level.

if i remember right, around 31°N 59°E. good luck getting there
also i'm fucking with you and your easter egg elitism while they're all on the wiki by now
disclaimer: video does not show the easter egg, it's there in case someone calls bullshit on being able to land on it

[Greiger]

Greiger, you should totally try landing over water.

Just did.  If the intakes have any weight above them they just immediately crash into the water and are destroyed presumably crushed by the weight.  It seems even A lone single kerbal command pod is too much weight.

However when placed along the side of something they will happily break off and bounce to their hearts content. But landing on water actually seemed less survivable, as the lithobraking rig that showed promise on the ground showed no signs of slowing at all when it hit water.

P.S. I wish I got science for preforming this science.

[Girlinhat]

As any accomplished space-person will remind you, water is the most dangerous force in the system, and it's fortunately not found on many other planets.
