Kerbal Space Program

Switching views between craft in the atmosphere can lead to complete destruction of an otherwise survivable craft when the distance between the two crafts exceeds 5km. I expect this would also happen outside of an atmosphere if both craft are on sub-orbital trajectories.

[b]What happens[/b]: Craft is destroyed after it gets more than 5km away
[b]What should happen[/b]: Craft should persist with simulation continued on it. At the very least, give a warning and allow the player to choose a craft to switch to (pause game) before destroying the other craft with the understanding that the other craft will be destroyed, killing any crew.

[b]Steps to reproduce[/b]:
Create a simple rocket, such as the one in the supplied file.
Go to launchpad.
Turn on SAS.
Launch.
Wait for engines to burn out.
Stage.
The command module will slowly drift away from the bottom section. Deploy the parachutes at an altitude where they won't open on the way up.
Watch it through Apoapsis and up until the parachutes extend, which should be around 20k meters. At this point, the discarded rockets are about 1k away.
Now, switch the view to the rockets using the '[' key.
Going to map view, you can see two paths, one for the command capsule and one for the rockets.
Keep watching until the command capsule gets more than 5km away, at which point it is "destroyed," even though it would otherwise survive.
You can verify the other craft is destroyed by trying to switch back. Go to the space center, and it's not visible. Look on the map, it's not visible.

[b]Second test: Parachutes set to 2.5km, and wait to stage them until 5km[/b].
In this test, the command capsule never gets more than 5km away from the discarded rockets.
When the rockets hit the ground, the view switches over to the command capsule and you descend safely to the ground.

[b]OS[/b]: Windows 7, 64-bit
[b]Version[/b]: 0.23 (Steam)
[b]MODS[/b]: None (also happens with them, of course)
[b]Game Mode[/b]: Sandbox and Career.
