Better than Starting Manned Now in version 0.90! Episode 21: Our second mission to the Mun, now with an antenna that can transmit data back. Episode 22: After upgrading to v0.90 and the latest BTSM version, I detour from my original plans to look at military missions. Flier's Ed Episode 14: We discuss trajectories and look at some quirks of Kerbal Alarm Clock when dealing with multiple missions.

Better than Starting Manned Episode 20 - Part 2 of our gamble to return science from the Mun with a dead, out of control probe. Flier's Ed Episode 13 - We continue our discussion on methods for departing from Munar orbit and what it actually means.

Better than Starting Manned Episode 19 - We need munar science and we also need to try out a new 10 ton lift design. We don't have an antenna that can transmit back. Time for part 1 of a gamble.

Flier's Ed Episode 12 - We discuss the ups and downs of various launch trajectories from the Mun. Better than Starting Manned Episode 18 - I work on designing our first Munar Probe and then we do a very silly looking part test.

Flier's Ed Episode 11 - We examine some mods to see how they handle jobs I usually do manually. Better than Starting Manned Episode 15 - Let's try to put a Kerbal into orbit again! Episode 16 - With success here, let's make another attempt at launching small payloads. Maybe this will be more cost effective. Episode 17 - Small payloads are sorted out so lets make an attempt at medium payloads. A redesign will be needed though.

Better than Starting Manned Episode 14 I try to redesign the small payload lifer. So close, yet so far away. I need better engines. Flier's Ed Episode 10 with our space stations in place, it's time to send our rescue craft. But first, a lesson on Launching to Rendezvous.

Better than Starting Manned Episode 13: Time to test out a design for a small payload lifter. I'm not sure about this design but we shall see.

Flier's Ed Episode 9: Docking with a claw and no RCS control! Better than Starting Manned Episode 11: A failure to read the fine print in a contract results in a severe financial penalty. Episode 12: Well I guess I could get more absurd than the ship in episode 10.

Flier's Ed Episode 8: In the interest of not making you wait a week, here is part 2 of Docking 101. Better than Starting Manned Episode 11 I attempt to put a kerbal in to space. It is far more expensive than I anticipated.

Flier's Ed Episode 7: Part 1 of Docking 101 as we continue our revised rescue plan. Better than Starting Manned Episode 10: The most absurd spaceship I've ever flown goes to space. Episode 10 is up early because I apparently can't tell the difference between 12 am and 12 pm.

Better than Starting Manned Episode 9 With our first successful orbit done, it's time to get some more science from Kerbin through a polar orbit. And I test a new mod to make doing various scans for science less of a headache!

Flier's Ed Episode 6 - A miscalculation has been made and a recording problem. Time for a plan B. Better than Starting Manned Episode 8 - Getting into orbit would be very nice. Let's go for it!

Better than Starting Manned Episode 7: We are running on a very tight budget. Hopefully we can get it sorted out!

Flier's Ed Episode 5: MisterFister and I continue to fine tune our Munar Rescue Mission for launch. Better than Starting Manned Episode 6: A minor bug costs us a bit of money. These early missions are really operating on tight budgets!

Better than Starting Manned Episode 5 We just need one more gravity scan to get our next science item! Harder than it sounds with our current technology!

Here are the latest video. I failed to schedule Flier's Ed Episode 4 properly, so it went live this morning as well! Flier's Ed Episode 4 - We begin to plan how to retrieve our munar mission. Better than Starting Manned Episode 4 - Time to figure out how to get reliable income at this stage in the game!

No doubt MisterFister. It's been an interesting learning experience so far! Here are the latest videos! Flier's Ed Episode 3: We learn some tricks for orbital maneuvers and land on the Mun. Better than Starting Manned: Episode 2: I try to get to space having never played with the early weight limits. Interesting challenge here! Episode 3: Time for our first manned flight!
