I would, but it was my space station core. Don't want a random decoupler in there.

An abort stage which deorbits and lands safely an entire assembled station would be goddamn amazing

goddamnit, I bought this and now I'm having trouble getting a simple probe into a stable orbit in order to get it to the Mun. WTF

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Welcome to Kerbal Space Program! It is not easy. Could I have a screenshot of your probe please?

I can get things to:
1. crash
2. explode
3. abort
4. splashdown
5. float
6. exit kerbins gravity
7. orbit kerbin

Once you've achieved #7, getting to the mun is easy!

Not with my ships. i built a probe and because i forgot two bits it took around 10 min to re-direct the ship. and no RCS. the ship is currently orbiting the sun.

Orbiting the sun is a lot easier than orbiting Kerbal. Just go up, up, up...

Well, I managed to get a probe to the Mun. Landing it, however, was a different issue that I don't want to talk about right now.


On the plus side, I have my Space Station Core up and running as my future base of all space operations!

My mun probe ended up in a polar orbit. Considering recentring the orbit was rather problematic, I decided to just set up an intercept orbit (not that hard).


Getting back was more problematic.
