Testing whether stage separation conserves momentum in KSP, I was hoping that the small bump applied retrograde while at Apokee (furthest point from the planet Kearth) would drop my Perikee far enough that I'd be able to graze the atmosphere and return my noble kerbanauts to kerra firma. But the engine doesn't do this and it's time to break out 'Space Oddity'

Note that this is a very old version of KSP and this is no longer the case.
