It is so fun that employees at Centauri Spaceworks had a competition to see who could reach orbit the fastest. Of course the pod isn't able to preform re-entry so all the participants needed to be picked up by an Orion afterwards and brought back to HOM. This left quite a few pods and lunar ascent modules in orbit around HOM. The initial thought was just to let them burn up, however Jan Gilbert pointed out that they were full of valuable thruster fuel, and the fuel tanks at the Centauri Spaceworks were getting very low on thruster fuel.
Instead of letting all that fuel go to waste, Centauri Spaceworks flew a station builder and fuel silo from the Centauri Spaceworks workshop over to HOM. The the pods and lunar ascent modules were docked to the silo one by one. They used their batteries to power the fuel pump on the silo to transfer over any remaining thruster fuel. All of the main engine fuel had been used up in order to boost the pods to the altitude of the fuel silo. After each pod and lunar ascent module was emptied of thruster fuel, it was undocked and destructed.
The harvest was a big success. It provided almost a full fuel silo worth of thruster fuel. Jan got a promotion and a complementary tank of petrol for her car as thanks for her great idea.
