KSP 1.0 Careermode: Day 6 - Tourists and science

This was a busy day at the KSC. After wrapping up the Munar probe mission, a mayday was received. It seemed a Kerbal was stuck in orbit and needed rescue. No clue to how this Kerbal got into this situation in the first place, but that has to wait. A R-05 rocket was hastily moved to the launchpad and launched for rendezvous with the unfortunate Kerbal.

After Lodble Kerman was rescued from space, preperations where made for the regular mission scheduled for today. Luckily Kerbals have been building a steady stream of R-05 rockets so the next was hauled onto the pad. This time, a tourist was scheduled to orbit Kerbin and pilot Hendous Kerman was to make two EVA's. One in LKO and one in HKO. The fuel should be just enough to make this happen.

And so, while Elimie Kerman watched in horror, Hendous left the capsule and made the very first EVA ever. Luckily for Elimie, everything went great and Hendous reentered the capsule safely. After raising the AP to 500km, Hendous made a second EVA that also went perfect. After these highlights, Hendous made a retrograde burn to return to Kerbin with his passenger and landed the craft safely in the ocean.
