Tragedy Over Mun!

This just in! Tragedy has stricken Kerbal 8, a single man mission to the polar crater of our closest moon, Mun! Reports from KSP has indicated that the lander does not have enough fuel to return home to Kerbal! The kerbalnaut, Bill Kerman, is reported in good shape. We reached out to Mr Kerman via long range communication and this is what he had to say:
"AHHHHHHHH! AHHH! AHHHH!! AHHHH!"
We reached out to JP Kerbalmon, head at KSP for comment and he had the following to say:
We are doing our very best to get Bill home as soon as possible
We asked Mr JP Kerbalmon for the reason why this situation happened, he responded with:
We aren't sure, but it definitely was not a math error... Like the math error where you need it in meters and you use feet. Definitely not that. Definitely.
Our sources within KSP has indicated that they are putting together different ideas to save the poor Kerbalnaut. Signs point to a remote controlled fueling vessel that will land on Mun to deliver the necessary fuel. More information when we have it.

Update 1: Our sources have given us the following image of what appears to be small crafts. They appear to be associated to the rescue effort of Bill Kerman. A keen eye will note what appears to be some sort of tubing connecting the two vessels.

Update 2: A rescue mission is underway! KSP has just released a photo taken from Science-1, the orbital space station around Kerbal. The ship shown matches the vessel we previously reported! More when more information becomes available.


Update 3: KSP has announced the the rescue vessel, now named Rescue Rover, has reached the Mun and established orbit. We expect the the rescue to start soon!

Update 4: Images have just been released of the Rescue Rover touching down on Mun. The image clearly shows the Rescue rover standing less than 50 meters from Kerbal 8. Refueling effort will start soon.


Update 5: More images released of the continuing situation on the Mun. Images show Bill Kerman constructing the necessary fuel lines from the Rescue Rover to Kerbal 8. The necessary parts appear to have been 'shipped' with the Rover in large toolbox like objects on the side of the Rover. Fueling is going quickly and we expect Bill to be on his way soon.


Update 6: SUCCESS! Bill Kerman has left the Mun and is on his way back home. This photo was taken from a long range satellite of the quickly approaching Kerbalnaut. More later!

Update 7: Bill Kerman is successfully back home tonight when Kerbal 8 reached Kerbal and splash landed in the ocean. We wish this brave kerbal luck on any future missions.
