Minmus is further away. Most beginners (myself included) think the Mün is easier to land on because it is nearer.

That reminds me of 'Breaking Strain', by Clarke.

Gilly: where your ship is larger than your orbit's apoapsis.

Bob completed a Münar landing by bailing out of the lander when it ran out of fuel and killing 200m/s of delta-V with the jetpack. He's stranded on the surface with almost no EVA fuel, waiting for a rescue team to show up whenever I discover ladders

A friend got me interested during the early days (somewhere between 0.7.3 and 0.10), and it totally hooked me up. I even managed to get to the Mün a few times when it still was a flat ball!

This one summarizes how most of my Münar landings end:

I finally managed to build a supersonic plane in career mode: Then I span it out of control:

The game deserves its praise. It has gone a long way since the first days, and its future is very promising. It has now got a game mode for people who don't feel comfortable with a full sandbox (the career mode, and in the near future we should expect missions) while still retaining the "I can do whatever I want" feel that makes it different. This game totally deserves the praise it is getting. There's nothing like sucessfully returning from another planet with a ship full of science.

Hello Kerbonauts, I made my forum account a very long time ago, but for god knows why I never posted anything. Now, after 2 yearrs and a "your username already exists", I'm back here. Even though I've been here for a long time, I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to rockets. I hope I'll be able to learn some stuff and share some experiences in here. Have a nice day!
