Fish in a Barrel

Awesome! That worked! I knew I had to be overlooking something obvious. I didn't expect it to let me to get up to 100,000x when it won't let you warp that high in low orbit. I was trying to warp in the tracking station. Thanks!

I assume there's a way to speed up time in the spaceport since I see references to timing your launches. I can't figure out how to do that. I've got a ship ready to go to Duna, but the planetary alignment is all wrong. Help! To date, my only inter-planetary mission was pure luck. I was just playing with a large booster design and I accidentally hit escape velocity while toying around in orbit. It just so happened that my trajectory took me reasonably close to Duna, and I managed to get it into orbit. Unfortunately, I don't have enough gas to get back. The ship I've built should be able to refuel my stranded Kerbalnauts and get everyone back home.

I've ran into the lack of symmetry bug again last night, and I'm pretty sure I didn't touch the parts after adding the custom action. In fact, I don't think I've ever had an action group function correctly with symmetry. It hasn't been an issue for me yet since my rockets are rather modest, but I'm starting to get ambitious enough that it'll be a problem soon.
