LoSboccacc, that's not even asparagus, and the staging thing says you have more than double the amount of engines I can see. I can see a 1+6+6 mainsail, which you see on Stage 3, but what about the 4x6 engines on Stage 1?

Also, how do your launches go? How much power do you give it, and so forth? Or does mechjeb super optimise that for you? I need to use asparagus 1+6+6+6, to get stuff to the moon, and in the end I still have to use some nuclear engines after I've gotten rid of all the mainsails.

I also have some fairly big problems not getting my connectors to go all wobbly. I use docking ports and stack separators like you, and if pushed too hard they just cave in on themselves. I end up setting up a squid tentacle like system... Like this.

I use an asparagus 1+2+2 and I get to orbit just fine. Then the payload can get to the mun and back. (without landing though)

My asparagus launcher has 1+2+2+2 mainsails on the bottom, before 7 nukes connected to a jumbo tank, then a single nuke connected to two 1m tanks, and then finally my lander. This got a 30ton rover to Bop

You know, I have to say, despite the fact that they don't have any facial hair, kerbals are surprisingly dorfy.

Yes it is. It is heavily staggered so outher layers don't come crashing when separated at a low angle.

The additional engines that shows up are the separatron for the middle layer of rockets.

I fire and forget it with mechjeb, but it works well on manual control, I am just cutting corners as launching gets boring after a while

I never thought I'd agree with a statement that included Rocket launches and boring in it. But yes, it does tend to get repetitive.

[Mephansteras]

Maybe I'm weird, but using Mechjeb always bugs me. I hate not having control over the flight.

Spoiler: People, I think I found Jeb's brother. (click to show/hide)

It even looks like he has derp eyes.

Though, how exactly do kinship and surnames work in Kerbal society? By 'common' human standard, we could see every kerbonaut as brothers, but doesn't seem likely. Maybe it works like old Italian names (Or at least how I think they work?), with town of origin being part of the name? Are all the Kerbals from the City of Kerman?

[Graknorke]

This is what happens when you let fabulous viking Kerbals onto spaceships.
They sit around and laugh maniacally. Harmless really.

It is likely.

I was wondering what kind of patch I missed.

I got my first circular orbit.
HELL FUCKING YES.

It's at 85km above Kerbin, and great god did I go trough hell to make it work. Maybe the rocket I'm using is inefficient, but it works after I strut it up a LOT. It still sways in all directions when using the bottom mainsail stage, but at least the top doesn't almost break off because it sways in different directions. I have a center mainsail that EXPLODES when I loosen the others, BUT I FUCKING DID IT.

E: And now I have used my newly-aquired skills to set up a Kethane detector on polar orbit :v
I probably won't use it for a long time, but woo, usefull sattelites.
