[also to vindianajones] Note though that the maneuver note doesn't take into account that your Normal/Antinormal (burning directions for incl. change) also change along with your inclination. If you don't correct that on large inclination changes it can mess up your orbits pretty badly.If you have MechJeb installed you can let it point at Normal/Antinormal. If you don't have MJ try pointing your ship just in the middle between pro- and retrograde (you know you're doing it right when your AP/PE only change slightly). Well, it may be counterintuitive, but that's how physics work.

Do you even know how to use maneuver nodes? Unless you are an orbital maneuvering master you won't really get far without them. If you don't know this guy yet, you are missing something, he does some of the best KSP videos and also good tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/user/szyzyg Here is a tutorial about really basic stuff (including orbital maneuvering): And here a tutorial especially about docking: Hope you haven't watched those tutorials already.

Watch Scott Manleys Moon Landing tutorial (and also his other tutorials, those aren't the best, but they are pretty good), iirc he also explains how to get back:

I personally think that there should be nothing like a magical science currency, just money and maybe rare materials from other planets you spend on science teams. Maybe have different levels of scientist trustworthiness/experience. Dubious/inexperienced science teams may scam you or do bad but are cheaper than reliable and experienced science teams. Also I think there should be no progress bar (would be pretty useless anyway, because time warp).

I had some kind of strange luck, my account didn't get deleted but instead reset to it's original name and one post (of something like 100-120). I just hope that I get a second rename under these special circumstances.

Do I have to do anything special for my solar panels to work? I can't get them to produce energy.
