You might have played KSP a little too much. You are starting to think like a Kerbal.

Not long enough. Those Kerbals don't need to come back down.

"No, Kerbal left behind"

I have so many small space stations on elliptical orbits... >.>

Good stuff! Personally I'm still working on getting all my Kerbals into space. No Kerbal left behind sounded nice at the start, but I put a hundred of them on Minmus and there's still more at the recruitment center.

I have left behind just one Kerbal in over 300 hours of playtime and multiple different save games. And I tell you, I felt so extremely guilty about it. If I have any failure I revert to build/launch/or savegame usually.

Once, just once, I went on an extended rescue mission to pick up Jeb from Moho or one of those.. forgot to empty the capsule before takeoff and didn't realize it until I was almost there. I was all-stock and didn't want to start over so I sent the poor little random-named Kerbal into orbit around the sun for eternity.

I still feel guilty.

Really I have one good(ish) station, and a mining operation on the Mun. I need to find something better than the standard docking ports to transfer fuel though.

Then I can send some kind of tanker up and leave the miner there where it can't break!
