I figured it out on the next two launches, got a successful orbit of Kerbin and even got my astronaut back to earth in one piece...after having a near planet orbit that cut through the upper atmosphere and back out again. Took 5 orbits but the atmosphere finally braked it enough that it came back down. I understand the principals but sometimes the execution of said principals leaves something to be desired. But it's fun!

I put poor Bill Kerman into orbit around the sun! Was testing out a rocket design and was trying to orbit the planet but I guess I screwed up and ended up getting an escape velocity and now he's in a similar orbit to Kerbin! Well, to be fair I am trying to learn the game. But that was a major screw up. I feel sorry for Bill!
