I'm pretty new to KSP. A few questions: 1. I have a contract to test an LV-1 engine in orbit. I'm not quite sure how to configure a rocket to do this. Should I use a sole LV-1 as my in-orbit stage engine? Should I use a whole bunch of LV-1s? I've seen pics of people using many LV-1s, but I'm not sure how to attach them -- with radial decouplers? 2. What do people use LV-1s for, anyway? I read that they are sometimes used for satellites, and I found a thread in which they're used in a small-engine challenge. 3. I'm still using the entry-level solid-rocket boosters. Are these enough to get me to the Mun (my next contract)? Should bigger SRBs be a top research priority? 4. My Mun contract doesn't require me to plant a flag. Should I try an unmanned mission? Thanks in advance.
