If you're new to the game and are having trouble figuring out why going straight up isn't getting you to orbit, or your ships always are running out of fuel just as you get out of the atmosphere, the come follow along as I explain the basics of orbit and show you a simple ship you can at the same time. You'll be touring the Mun and Minmus in no time.

Ever get annoyed that you have to keep refueling your fuel station? Ever wanted to put some fuel around Jool but thought: “It’s annoying to top off the tankers around Kerbin, it’d be a nightmare around Jool.†Your worries are no more. This 2000+ part launch system can be modified to lift just about anything into orbit. It takes approximately 20-30 minutes to get this thing into space on my computer due to the significant frame rate issues. At launch, it takes nearly 15 real seconds for each game time second.

Want to put a Cheers-inspired tap room in orbit? This .craft file will get you your very own hangout for your own Kerbal universe. It’s 100% stock parts and comes with its own lifter staged and ready for take-off. The lifter has enough fuel to put this space bar anywhere in Kerbin’s sphere of influence and with a few modifications could easily be put anywhere in the Kerbol universe.

How did I never think of an inclined launch? Genius. How did you separate the stages? Some sort of mod?

Thanks! I'll search for Jamie's to see if I can make any improvements on my own.

Easier than MechJeb! Just load engines up to full throttle, hit T for SAS, and then press the space bar. 23 minutes and 35 seconds later you'll have an empty fuel station in orbit ready to be fueled up. Don't steer, don't mess with the throttle. Just walk away and make yourself a sandwich. Craft file is available here: http://kspadventures.com/creative-engineering-space-bar-to-orbit/ Oh, and I've been attempting this for a few hours, but the craft has docking ports on it. I believe it's possible (with exact timing) to press space bar and dock with itself (if you've got a copy of it already in orbit). If you succeed at "Space Bar to Dock", let me know!!!

Racing to the Mun, landing safely. Version: 0.23

Congratulations! You had what we call an unexpected rapid rendezvous. Did you have your navball in target mode?

Amazing video! Nice post.

Orbital mechanics are not intuitive. Here is a simple to understand video showing you all six maneuvers and how they affect your orbit. The main goal of this video is to NOT use too much aerospace jargon and explain the various forces you can apply to your spacecraft in an easy-to-understand format. I hope this is helpful.

Thank you. Keep on kerbaling!

Yes. :-) that is correct.

I looked at every single one.

The most straight-forward guide with no techno-jargon or wasted time. If you couldn't rendezvous before, you will now.

Watch how to get to the Mun the wrong way, and in near record time!
