I don't think I've unlocked it yet Xwingace. Also, can someone explain the benefits of the yellow fuel pipes? I've understood you have to use it if you want to perform an aspargus launch. But what exactly does it do?

Good tip, thanks! Some missions ago I tried putting some batteries inside of the service bay, but when I opened it when in orbit, it wasn't there. What exactly is the service bay for? The smallest/first service bay you get.

MISSION SUCCESS! Lord almighty what a trip. Followed a combination of tips from here. I combined an unmanned mk1 with the Stayputnik and put 4 batteries on it. The landing vessel was 4 medium fuel tanks with the small landing engines on them. That was powered by a stage 2 set of t800 fuel tanks with the steerable engines, which again was powered by a stage 1 set of 5x rockomax fuel tanks with the engine that comes prior to the mainsail, along with some thrusters. The landing on the Mun actually went relatively smoothly. I packed so much fuel that I could bob up and down some 1000m above the surface until I came close enough to thrust retrograde and slow down. In the end I landed about 800m from brave ol' Bill. On one t400 engine I set course for Kerbin, which went almost perfect, except for the fact that I ran out of batteries half way there, and couldn't control my vessel without activating engines, which would've set me off course. Thankfully my entry angle was low enough to not burn up on re-entry, although my batteries exploded (my heart sank for a sec when I thought it was my pod). Landed smoothly on Earth, with Bill bringing home 267 science point, and transmitted another 200 or so. What a guy. I'd say he even rivals Jebediah.

After buying the full game some days ago, I've literally been planted in front on my screen since. I jumped straight into career mode and started building. I finally reached the Mun, but on landing my rocket tipped over. On it is a Science Jr. module, the goo and thermometer. I want to bring that science back home. The EVA's I've done has been transmitted, but seems like I've spent the majority of my electricity, even with 3 rechargable batteries (did I use them wrong? I've sent about 3-4 messages to Kerbin). Now, what would be the best way to bring the poor chap back home, with his science?
