    Kerbal landing technique? Like smashing into the surface max speed because you somehow managed to decouple your only engine due to poor preplanning? At least that’s how I play it.

      In this case, the landing legs were on the “side” of the probe. It was supposed to come down to a halt hovering right above the surface and then flop over onto them.
