Hi This is likely to have been covered elsewhere in which case please accept my apologies, I understand that the game is still being developed, however, the earliest rocket I can make is sending a poor kerbal up into space. A somewhat risky affair to say the least and often ending in his demise / miraculous escape. I note that the game holds the ability to make satellites and unmanned rockets would it not make sense to provide those command modules as a first step? I can see the logic if it's to reiterate the inherent clumsiness in the kerbal psych, something that is illustrated nicely enough with my early attempts of lets get into space. I just wondered why and also to ensure i am not missing some essential game play in career mode. IE answers like you can, look here would be greatfully recieved.
