Horizons Well that was all backards, FD

I'm a simple country boy from some backwater here in the bubble but that landing was a little screwy, FD.

I'm out re-engineering my AspX and headed over to Lei Cheung. My bird is flying fine and I approach the workshop in my usual fashion about 5km above, get permission to use my docking computer and throttle down. Next thing I know old Bettie and me are pointed straight up to the heavens but flying backwards to the landing pad. The computer set us down smooth enough, but it sureeeeeeeeeeeeeee was interesting. Thanks for the giggles, FD. Every Monday morning needs a good laugh.

Sounds like a Space-X touchdown, truly retro-rocket stuff.

EDIT: I think this should be reported as a bug (so I did), because it happened to me today as well. I was dropping in to start a Planetary Scan Job, normal manual approach I've done dozens of times, less than 5m off the surface, and suddenly went nose-up totally vertical and could not get back off the surface without a boost, and even that took a second or two to break me free. I was also teleported a couple of kilometers farther away. I didn't know ED has trekkie transporter tech.
