Well, I finally did it. After many times of overshooting or running out of fuel, I managed to land on the Mun. It was a rough landing, but I only lost one fuel tank. Now, to learn how to get back to Kerbin...

Introducing the Potato 4.



This ship, build completly from default parts, weighs only 3.81 tons (4.01 if using launch supports), yet it can acheive a stable orbit around kerbin, and still have enough fuel left to leave that orbit, and return to kerbin safely.
It can reach orbit and then leave that orbit in under 5 minutes.

If I could have made a tank of about 20 liquid fuel and no oxidizer, this ship would have been a good bit smaller.

Agh, I can't find enough science things to do.

Ooh, neat.

Minmus flyby's give so much science. Got the tree about halfway done now.

i have 4 done

Career mode is so sweet. I can't wait until we have budgets.

alright, so i'm trying to get mods downloaded from Spaceport (as soon as i got this, because i'm me) to...well, download, but because my internet is stuff (cue infographic), i literally can't download them all before the server cuts me off. does anyone have any non-shady programs to facilitate direct downloads, or is willing to upload three or four major mods for me?

also, does anyone know of any mods that add detonatable struts? really irritating to have to put an assload of parts just to have a strut that detaches.
found Quantum Struts, includes an attachable strut gun that uses action groups. yay!
EDIT: also, i managed to download Kerbal Attachment System, and i can officially report it to be the best thing ever.

for the love of god someone help ;-; . behold my otherwise monstrous construction though:



Just discovered this myself, anyone willing to try it out with me?

I tried doing it with my friend but he couldn't connect to my server. Should I forward any port for it to work correctly? It shouldn't matter anyways as we used evolve.

Me & Renu seemed to get it working with chat and some syncing, although we couldn't see each others crafts.
(we used hamachi to connect)
