They should really hire KSP players to do these missions. We might put a ladder over the hatch or forget landing legs, but at least we know how to fix this issue!

Hardcore KSP players run KSP Realism Overhaul + Principia + FAR/FARC
Takes off the training wheels and makes things much more realistic.
Real solar system, scales and values no longer on easy mode, much more complex and accurate physics calculations for orbital manuevers, much more realistic aerodynamics model.
If you can get an 'Oberth Kuiper' manuever to work in all that, a NASA employee might actually take at least momentary notice.
I would be shocked if the vast majority of them donβt already play KSP.
I would say there's a good possibility of that!
