Thanks, that's going to be very helpfull since im a complete newbie in ksp.

I could do a start to finish rendezvous and docking video using the new mechjeb if you like.

Hey, something you probably want to check out:

The carrier w/o mods. look on you tube. if you get some dude talking about a giant space-carrier, then you might be there. even more so if they dont use mods.

Its been linked and discussed here before if you're talking about the one I think you are. Without you providing a link there's no way to know.

Decided to take a look at the Jool system, Laythe in particular, and saved quite a lot of fuel doing the aerobraking maneuver.

Also decided to pull up good ol' MechJeb for funsies. How ridiculous can I make spaceplanes?

Spoiler: The Stinger, Mach 7 at 29-30 km (click to show/hide)

Did some driving on the Mun as well while I set up a Kethane refueler in orbit.

And now I'm actually ORBITING the mun! It was looking scary there for a second due to fast-forward being too fast. The mun slingshotted me into a really weird orbit with Kerbin, but I managed to get caught by the mun's gravity again and burned backwards like it was going out of style. Now, should I keep it in orbit or send another rocket to try and land on it (again)?

Also, Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon is, unsurprisingly, a fitting album for this game.

Bring a Kerbal to Mun and back to Kerbin again!

That's not too hard.

I'm amazed that those things don't completely flip over, mechjeb or otherwise.

For a beginner? That kinda is.

The problem isn't really getting to the mun, it's landing on it. I can never manage to slow down enough to avoid horrible, painful death.

I'm amazed that those things don't completely flip over, mechjeb or otherwise.

I basically flew them at the pitch angle for minimum positive vertical speed, 5º for the Stinger, 3º for the Condor. In the end I either run out of fuel or flame-out. Or occasionally flip over when Mechjeb overcompensates or I increase the pitch too much (+1º for the Condor, +2-3º for the Stinger).

My problem isn't landing, I can land safely quite reliably. My problem is I never have enough fuel to move anywhere let alone get home

If you can get there and land, getting back isn't terribly hard tbh.

Unless you used too much fuel getting there.
