'missing in action' !!kidnaped kerbals!!

1 i built a lil lander. (disposeable 1 way) The tight packageing required me to put one of the landing gears in the event window of the pod. So basically every time i go on eva the kerbal bound up to the box of the gear and would 'shoot' the kerbal out of the pod when eva was engaged. it wasent too big of a deal untill today. upon eva today the screen went black i could interact with the menues and go out of game entirely. ksc screen was totally black except menues. After restarting the game the save file is intact and game loads properly. BUT, mr warhad his lander and even the flag he place upon landing are 'gone' no evidence of the exsistance of the mission EXCEPT Mr. warhad is now registered in @ ksc as 'missing in action' lol, just talked to my wife about it and she says... well, he got kidnaped..... so ya theres a theory, im thinking bug..... but the whole event is qute the expierence for me now. im in vanilla so this isnt a mod thing. ive looked at the mun from ksc my only other option is making and entire search and rescue mission to look for an dead or incap. kerbal.

2 I build a flyer for kerbin to drop science kits from the craft in flight. 2k distance from the object it will be destroyed. if i switch to the science drop pod the flyer will be distroyed and the only damage report is 2 lines. "so and so was killed" "so and so was killed"

If you stay within 2K of the object untill it touches the ground it will not be destroyed and function as i would assume normally.

**side note** bug #2 was actually benifical to me as it forced me to develop a harrier style jet that will eventually become my 2nd generation ss.

Sadly..... Warhad's status has been updated to 'K.I.A.' I guess this one can be called a 'deadly bug' he he he.... The origional sight has not been found, nore, any sign of the craft or flag. Back at home in KSC, i can only assume the life signs from warhad's suit have stopped transmiting as Warhad's status has been updated to 'K.I.A.'

Wierd stuff in KSP is mostly attributed the the Space Kraken, if something vanishes etc, it ate it.

Point number 2 is not a bug. It's the way the game is programmed to deal with that situation.

Ya, i was wondering that one..... its how i figured out about the 2k thing..... ya know like the 2.5k loading pause when approaching a huge ss in orbit. So i built a harrier that can float while the pl drops. Its actually really fun and the ship itsself is sweet. Anywhere i want i can cut the main drive and hover, change direction, land, loiter..... hehehe
