Thank you all, I took all of your advice and formed it into a new rocket: http://garyscrib.com/KSPA/IMAGES/KERBITAN1/ .

Thanks for your help guys! I'll see what I can do to fix this.

So, I built a rocket and everytime reach 10km where I try to pitch east a little bit, to get into orbit, all hell breaks loose and my rocket starts flipping all over the place. And I can never correct it. Anyone know a solution? EDIT: And the SAS is enabled all the way until 10km when I try to pitch over a little bit. The only way of correcting it (Theres still a chance of this failing) is to enable SAS And RCS. :/

Well you have to make seperate stages. You have the parachute, engines, and everything else all in one stage therefore its deploying in one stage.

Thanks alot guys I appreciate it, i'll look into all your suggestions. You can track most of my progress here.

What are the main things I need to do, to get to the moon? I know docking is an essential part of getting there but unfortunately have no idea how to do it, and I wish someone could teach me. But do you guys thing I can get there on one rocket? And what are the steps I need to take, to progress up to that point?

Thanks, I learned how to use an abort key.

I have a backup stage, where if anything goes wrong then a backup rocket will fire up and the kerbals will seperate from the rocket and fly away. Then the parachutes will open up. But if nothing goes wrong, how do I skip that stage? Or if something does, how do I manually activate iti?

Well when it gets added, it'll be high. The astronauts wear G-SUITS.

Anyone got skype? I need a docking mentor. Thanks

Alright thanks i'll redo that. And this is only experimental, I wanna get into space and then come back to earth and land somewhere.

When I launch it, it automatically goes forward, and crashes into the ground. This is my first shuttle. Craft

I sure would tap.

Here ya go: Craft

All you have to do is add struts.

Who cheats in a game like KSP? If you do, you really shouldnt play it.

I have no mods, Tripod. And do any of you have skype?

Alright, thank you. And for the docking port, I just wanna get this peice of ship into orbit so I can launch other rockets and practice docking.

I fixed most of the problems, added struts and moved wings lower, on my xLS-66 but for some reason after the 1st stage I start descending. Heres the craft: Download

Ah ok, i'll see if that works. Thank Nao.

Thank you, Calculus Warrior.

One of the following problems occur during most of my flights: *Right before I enter space at around 14,000 feet my rocket suddenly dips towards the ground, out of control *At around 12,000 feet my rocket would do a complete 360 while encountering severe turbulence *My rocket would fall apart upon stage switching *I maintain full throttle all the way up without overheating, and suddenly my rocket slows down and starts descending while I am at full throttle facing up/forward Here are some craft files I'll leave for you guys: Craft1 Craft 2 Craft 3 Craft 4 Please help me.

This is just experimental, so I added a bunch of boosters to it. And its controlled by 6 RCS modules. The flight didn't go so well though, it took off straight up and flipped over within a second and a half.

Did you purposely make the first rocket, look like a human?

Thanks for all your help guys!
