This should have gone in the "Welcome Aboard" section, really. But holy Mos-Esley, is this a big post! Nice to see someone with a good history joining the forums. And your Mun missions remind me of my own... I could never get enough fuel there to get home, never. Welcome to the game and the Forum, masterquinn! EDIT: Whoah, just noticed your questions at the end. (Sorry, I didn't read it all the way through! ) Docking and refueling, check out the tutorial in my signature. Science, you need to be in Career mode. There are something like 10 different experiments: Goo Canister, Materials Bay, Accelerometer, Gravioli Detector, Barometer, Thermometer, Sensor Array Computing Nose Cone, Crew Report, Surface Sample and EVA Report. Except for the last three (two?) you need parts, which would be in the "Science" tab. Look there. The Crew Report/EVA Reports need Kerbals. Right-click on a capsule and then "Crew Report" to do one. Right-clicking a Kerbal gives you EVA reports, and if you are landed or splashed down, an option for "Surface Samples". The other part's experiments are accessed via right-clicking as well. Hope this helped!
