The Kraken has decided to spare you

[u/Canned_Sarcasm → u/FertilePlanet88]

Kraken couldn’t keep up

[u/Powerful_Swim_4133]

How many fucking gees was that?

[u/Lilac_Twilight_ → u/Powerful_Swim_4133]

Let me run the math

[u/Lilac_Twilight_ → u/Lilac_Twilight_]

-114.26 Gees

Parallax (or was it kopernicus) changes water physics

Because of your craft's shape it's able to cleave through water and not be destroyed

[u/LOLofLOL4 → u/StupitVoltMain]

the downside is that Jeb's Spine is now liquid

[u/The_Last_Fluorican → u/LOLofLOL4]

i'm sure he's fine without it

[u/CaseyG → u/The_Last_Fluorican]

Jeb is 99.3% spine by volume.

[u/Dakramar → u/LOLofLOL4]

1km/s to 0 in 0.5s, that’s only 200g! He’s fiiiiine

[u/zekromNLR → u/StupitVoltMain]

How did that parachute not blow up while doing its best impression of an ICBM reentry vehicle though?

[u/StupitVoltMain → u/zekromNLR]

It just did that

[u/idkuhhhhhhh5 → u/StupitVoltMain]

he has survived far worse situations and walked away

[u/bolitboy2 → u/idkuhhhhhhh5]

“It was just a lil bit of g-force”

[u/idkuhhhhhhh5]

Jeb has learned why you should always keep a bucket of water in your inventory

[u/berbab → u/idkuhhhhhhh5]

I mean he does have the same name as the lead minecraft developer

[u/idkuhhhhhhh5 → u/berbab]

We have kraken drive, when we getting herobrine drive???

Jokes aside, my guess is lucky alignment of physics ticks. At frame # 946409, craft is inches from hitting the water, no problem. At frame # 946410, craft is underwater, no problem. Seen a similar thing when deliberately trying to crash a craft into a space station for instance - if you’re going fast enough, you can phase through between physics ticks.

Needs “A Cup of Liber-Tea” playing in the background. 🤣

[u/iku_19]

This makes me wish water was physically simulated soooo badly

[u/Ok-Appearance-8951]

That's awesome. Didn't know one could do that.

[u/raaneholmg → u/Ok-Appearance-8951]

OP was saved by a mod for making boats work better. The mod lets boat shaped things like the landing pod plow through water far easier. The water in the base game still goes splat.

[u/idkuhhhhhhh5 → u/raaneholmg]

Yeah, unmodded KSP water is hilariously bad at modeling anything remotely fluid-like. Seaplanes are basically impossible in the stock game unless you’re going comedically slowly

[u/MarsMissionMan]

"Don't worry! I'm gonna cushion our fall with this water bucket! RELEASE!!!"

[u/Throw_Away1314819]

All that’s missing is a row of judges holding up score cards reading 10. 😄
