Kerbal Space Program

[Hooahguy]

Just going to resurrect this thread...

Anyways KSP is now in beta and its miles ahead from where it used to be. Theres a career mode and loads of mods (though many arent updated to the new update yet it seems), so theres plenty to do even if you cant seem to do the really complicated stuff like landing on a moon. Or orbiting it for that matter. Ive managed to get into orbit without the help of an autopilot system. So far Ive built a reliable rocket delivery system which can get me to the Mun and probably beyond but I havent tried that yet.

Lift-off! The four boosters are enough to get me almost past the first stage of the atmosphere.




Second stage gets me well into orbit.



Third stage is the one that gets me to the Mun with usually about half that fuel left.

...and thats where I run into this problem:



Ive launched five rockets so far and I have yet to get into a stable orbit around the Mun no matter what I do. Four of them collided with the Mun and the fifth one I missed the mark and I decided to abort it. Kinda frustrating but I will keep at it.

In the meantime I launched six communication satellites into stable orbit and a space telescope I have dubbed the "Hobble Telescope."




So far almost all my missions are unmanned, but once I get my probe into orbit around the Mun I will start planning a Mun landing.
