[QUOTE=Dippeggs;33121108]Well, I was waiting for the Mun update to come out and since it did I guess it's time to show this.

Should be the trailer for the game, god damnit

Add that damn engine part to the game. You must for the sake of Kerbin.

Actually Apollo 11's Eagle had 25 seconds of fuel left and that was considered very little. I literally had about another 2 seconds of fuel.[/QUOTE]
I got trouble assembling the lander, the descend fuel tank gets bugged and won't connect.
[QUOTE=-Xemit-;33122268]Anyone else thinks there should be an arrow or something showing which way the Mun goes round? This seriously made things more complicated. But I did it. I established the first kerbal base on the Mun.

Notice all the exploded parts.[/QUOTE]
The moon orbits east.
oh nevermind I forgot a stage :downs:
[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;33115903]I just achieved my first legit orbit, just to find out that warping had disrupted my orbit.
My periapsis was 11km off the surface (so within the lowest level of the atmosphere), as I was approaching I slowed down to 1x, my capsule suddenly started rotating randomly, and now my periapsis is 4KM for the next rotation past. I don't think I'll be able to make another rotation.
[/QUOTE]
At an altitude like this, your orbit is bound to decay due to atmospheric friction. You should get to at least 40km.
I got to the moon, entered a nice orbit, slowed down to release the LEM, engaged the descent thruster...
...and accidentally separated the whole lander module.
Still managed to land it using the ascent stage, but it exploded upon impact so they're now stuck on the moon

Is that the order you connected in?
Watch out for some of the decoupler points, they're tight and can sometimes lead to you picking the wrong one.
If neither of those is the problem, show us a picture.

Curse you!
[QUOTE=FuzzyPoop;33116342]Is it easy to get to the Mun with stock parts ? [/QUOTE]
No, not at all. It's possible, but it's much more difficult.
Oh FUCKING FINALLY!

Just gotta kill my speed a bit and I'll be able to land.
Took me a month, but now I'm finally there.

FUCK NO.

I thought my RCS thrusters were enough to land, I flew in at 300m/s and exploded.
[QUOTE=gaige333;33122706]FUCK NO.

You need to get down to less than 5m/s in order to land safely.

Almost.
Well I wasn't able to get a really circular orbit BUT my perpiapsis was 660 meters and my apoapsis was 2600 meters. I orbited once with 2600 meters - 1000 meters, then I lowered my orbit to the 2600 - 660. I did 3 / 4 of an orbit and then KSP said it was out of heap memory :(
Will have a video soon. If I knew what the highest thing on mun was I'd be more ballsy about lowering my orbit
Helpful Hint is to just shoot for past the moon's orbit. Just get your trajectory well past the moon's orbit line. You can ALWAYS do a retrograde or prograde burn mid flight to speed up or slow down to catch the moon
The closer you are, the more fuel it will take

Oh man that was great
I was really tempted to quote all that and just say "Yeah, fuck you."
Time to launch my first ship. :dance:

SAS helps.
That was one hell of a post. I demand it to be placed in OP together with that video.
Cant get one of the decouplers to attach :<
EDIT: Derp forgot a stage.
The tutorial crashes the game, fuck me.
[QUOTE=DrugUnit;33123076]Cant get one of the decouplers to attach :<[/QUOTE]
Where are you trying to attach it?
Easy way to get to the Moon:
Boost straight up at launch to at least 80km.
Take a heading of 90 degrees with a pitch angle of 35-40 degrees.
Once you jettison your boosters, burn those engines until your orbit meets with the Moon's orbit.
Then just wait until the Moon catches up with you and you get caught in it's gravity. Be ready to burn retrograde beforehand.
[QUOTE=mac338;33123088]The tutorial crashes the game, fuck me.[/QUOTE]
open Settings.cfg in notepad and add this:
TUTORIALS_EDITOR_ENABLE = False
TUTORIALS_FLIGHT_ENABLE = False
