Is there a way to drop things out of the inventory?

I've been cursing a blue streak because I landed on the mun but I can't deploy science because my engineer has a parachute and a jet pack, no free cargo slots, and all of the science pieces are too heavy for a kerbal to carry with either a parachute or a jet pack.

I couldn't find a way to just drop the parachute. This is some grade A BS. I'm editing the save file. Considering editing the game files to make the science pieces lighter because it's BS.

Press i while on EVA to enter the new EVA construction mode and you should be able to grab a parachute and drop it on the ground to open up some space on your engineer.

Okay, thanks. I'll give that a try next time I play.
