Is there any decent guide on beating real world to crewed lunar landing? I am playing on normal difficulty and I can't even keep up with the historical timeline.
For my past two careers I took advice from that guide on the github wiki of RP-1. By investing only in VAB and tech, I am able to keep pace until about the first orbit (1955-1956). After that, I simply cannot research nodes fast enough. By around 1960, real world catches up to me, and after that I fall about 5-7 years behind. I keep seeing careers of other players with lunar landings in 1966. At the same time, my past career has achieved crewed orbit in 1965 and would have achieved only crewed flyby by 1972. In my current career I'm even further behind with crewed orbit in 1968.
It would be very insightful if someone more experienced would write a general outline of their progression, but any advice is welcome.
