Yeah really I used it to visualize how to actually get into orbit, as I felt like the tutorials I read didn't make it massively clear how it works. Watching Mechjeb do it (especially in terms of watching when it starts the gravity turn) really made it much easier to get a good grasp on it.

The tall solid rocket boosters always create an imbalance and cause my ship to tip over!

Ahh okay, I didn't think of that, I tried restarting the moon transfer and thought that it would work, thanks!

I'm using MechJeb to try and get to Mun, and I use the ascent autopilot to get in orbit fine at about 80km (is that enough?) and then I use the transfer module in Orbital Operations to set my transfer to Mun. Unfortunately after I do my burn towards the moon, there seems to be a constant negative acceleration on my ship (presumably due to the gravity of Kerbin). This means I can't warp (can't warp while accelerating), which makes it extremely tedious to try and get to Mun, is there any way I can prevent this?
