Would like to say thank you to all who gave me advice etc after some playing around I made an orbit round kerbin and landed successfully too, onwards and upwards

Thank you this makes things more clear

First off great game few hours in and I am hooked now my problem is orbit! I cannot do it, I have tried everything I can think of but I am most certainly doing something wrong. I can get into space and change from surface to orbit but then this is where my problems begin. I started learning via YouTube tutorials but when I press the M key to go into map view my view looks slightly different to the tutorials. They have a green line and can seem to get info about when to engage engines etc whereas I just have a white line and cannot seem to manipulate anything. It is probably just something ever so simple I am missing so if someone could put me out of misery that would be great. another thing I have tried looking few the threads to look for tips etc but it does seem there is a fair few threads if someone could point me in the right direction I would be greatful. New to these types of games more of a grand strategy guy so please go easy on me also sorry for rambling!
