Long range networks -- draft

Parachutes, sure, and I'll add a parenthetical note...but think about how often you kill rotation with parachutes or you orient yourself so you land straight. There are a number of adjustments we tend to do even on parachute landings that become more difficult with a five minute delay.

Try doing a parachute landing where you don't use any SAS or adjust your heading. Yes, it *might* land just fine, but there are potential complications or weird heading problems. Duna would be especially tricky, since the parachute window is so small and you really have to load up vessels with chutes to get it to work right.

Still, I'll note that atmospheric entries are possible.
