Bug #5188
game 'crash' when orbital speed reaches zero
100%
Description
Trying to get back to kerbin (at least from minmus) and reducing your horizontal and vertical to zero (not'almost') makes the screen turn black and change your biome to 'high over the sun'.
The GUI is still visible but you cant See any ship or change to mapview (changing seems to work as the navball vanishes, but screen doesn't change.
Going back to space center with works, but gives you just an empty space screen in tracking station.
You have to leave the game, restart, load to space center and directly load your last backup (load 'quicksave' from space center), course accessing tracking station will probably crash it again(at least accessing your vessel again)

It would be very helpful if you could provide your output_log.txt file from after the problem happens and/or a save file from just before doing the "stop" manoeuvre.

Reproduced it 2 times with a little ship back from minmus.
Quicksave' is overwritten already as I was happy to this situation somehow.
Edit: tried it again. I have no idea where to move to get my hvel to zero just after leaving minmus'soi. I always have sth around 8km\s shown while the navball orbitmode and my vvel say 0m/s.
So its up to you to set sth up to check how game responds just before and then when reaching hvel and vvel 0.
For me its to much time to fly somewhere and prepare everything to fit. Especially when I have no clue why hvel is hoping between 12km/s and 8km/s.
And no, its not the 'surface speed' compared to kerbin...
