@Ebony, I intended to use the latter. English needs less homophones.
My thanks for the condolences, I'll pass them along to the families of the crew.
I've found that I've become halfway decent at constructing (interplanetary) probes, but orbital stations remain a challenge to construct solidly enough and timing burns properly can be even more so, even with MechJeb handling most of the planning. I had intended an aerobraking maneuver to establish an orbit over Duna for a contract. I ended up with hosting a few funerals with empty caskets on account of there being no remains available even if I could afford to send a crew to look for them when I checked the orbital insertion trajectory too late to do something about it with the anemic but high I[sub]sp[/sub] station keeping drives I use for, well, stations.
@Tennie, sadly, lithoi did not break.
