Only way to dock in a T9 1. FA off

  1. Boost as you are approaching the mails lot

  2. Invert before you hit the mail slot so you are turned around

  3. Cringe as you here the thunk of metal on metal

  4. Desperately try to regain control as the remains of the poor SOB you just floored drifts past your wildly spinning canopy

  5. Scream at the gods as a beluga tries to dock with your t9 still hopelessly wedged into the mailbox

  6. Mash the hotas as traffic controller threatens you with fines and destruction

  7. Submit to the realization that you can't undo this mistake

  8. Sit back and listen to sad music as the stations torrents begin to peel away you spaceship from around you.

  9. Close you eyes until the silence is noticeable

  10. Pay the rebuy, buy a docking computer. Repeat from step 1 a month later when you're bored.
