newbie here... about 35 hours of play time total so far. in sandbox i have had successful missions to both mun and minmus (totally not using youtube tutorials ), but in career mode however, it has been disaster after disaster. in my career, Jebediah's rocket fell over while landing on Mun. So far (probably due to lack of skill) I have not been able to build a rocket with two pods to go rescue him. they are all just too damn heavy. I will have to leave him there until I unlock more parts. to make matters worse Bill was in orbit around kerban, and i decided on a whim to hop out and let go of the ship. it was my first eva ever and i had no idea how to control it, so Bill ended up being unable to catch back up to the ship. he is still just floating in orbit. both have been weighing heavy on my heart. knowing that they are stuck where they are for many kerban days, until i can unlock more parts, and get more skilled so i can catch bill in orbit. :(
