Gilly is not much more than an impactor that just hasn't impacted, yet

You write a paper about the meta-analysis of analysis of meta-meta-metacognition research, claiming that it's "about ethics in meta-meta-journalism." The bots reject you.
<packbart>
Well, bot-reviewed papers is a step up from current practice, anyway

Mistakes are made. This instigates an egregious netsplit in #kspofficial.
<raptop>
Oops
<raptop>
Hrm, netsplats are rare these days

Why doesn't it let me place parts? I even flew to a flot spot. http://0x0.st/o3Xh.png
<darsie>
This mission is cursed.
<Althego>
great domain
<SporkWitch>
darsie: what is that you're trying to place?
<SporkWitch>
deployed science?
<darsie>
yes
<SporkWitch>
that's why
<darsie>
That's a control unit.
<SporkWitch>
you don't use eva construction
<darsie>
What why?
<darsie>
what?
<SporkWitch>
in the kerbal's inventory, click the down arrow with the circle to enter placement mode
<darsie>
I did.
<SporkWitch>
apologies, then, it looked like EVA construction; it shouldn't be floating it above the ground like that
<SporkWitch>
i've never had an issue like that :(

<darsie>
I'll reload ...
<SporkWitch>
is that gilly?
<darsie>
yes
<darsie>
restarting ...
<SporkWitch>
almost wonder if maybe it's something wonky because of how small gilly is
<SporkWitch>
i've never tried placing deployed science there
<darsie>
I put stuff on Gilly before.
<SporkWitch>
and you tried spinning the kerbal around a bit to reposition it, i assume?
<darsie>
This is the future impact site of the 3rd stage.
<darsie>
yes
<SporkWitch>
then yeah, no idea other than restarting
<darsie>
3rd stage going retrograde.
<darsie>
no worky :(
<darsie>
This scientist is too dumb. Should have brought an engineer.
<darsie>
no. I guess I was just too close to the rocket.
<SporkWitch>
weird; i put stuff right next to my landers all the time. but they're landed on gear, might make a difference that yours was on its side?
<darsie>
Perhaps the exhaust plume is an exclusion zone.
<SporkWitch>
shouldn't be, not on ion engines
<darsie>
For graphical reasons.
<darsie>
So, I simulated the impact, took a screenshot just before impact with the coordinates from kerbnet, then set up the seismometer there and did the impact for real.
<darsie>
3rd stage went retrograde towards Gilly.
