I was learning how to use the Eva jet packs when my kerbal (i hate dandard) flew into the solar panel and chopped it clean off. Is there any way to recover the broken part and reattach it without relaunching?

Repairing Spacecraft
No there isn't sorry.
At the current state of Kerbal Space Program, whatever you do to your ship is final.
A good way to "repair" the ship, is to put docking ports on every part of the ship, and dock it together during assembly. This way, if for example, the left rocket breaks, you can send a new one up, detach the old one, and put the new one on.
Currently this would be classified as the "only way". (As of Beta 1.0)
"Re-inflating" Spacecraft
So Spacecraft cannot be "repaired". But they sure as hell can be re-inflated!
By this I mean that if a tyre pops, for example on a rover, then you can get a Kerbal to EVA up to the tyre, Right Click the tyre, and "repair" it, which re-inflates it, fixing it. (As of Beta 1.0 you need an Engineer with the correct rank to do this.)
The same can be done with landing gears, and re-packing parachutes.
Currently these are the only things repairable. (As of Beta .90)
Engineer Ranks:
Level 0 engineers have no special abilities.
At level 1, they can repack parachutes.
At level 2, they can repair wheels.
At level 3, they can repair lander legs.
They gain no further abilities with additional levels.

Repairing the KSC
Sure, buildings can collapse and be destroyed if enabled upon save creation, but repairing them is even easier. Just Right Click the building of your choice, and a "Repair" option will appear. Warning: This feature will cost money if you're not in Sandbox
