Hi all! I've started playing KSP around november last year. Been a while since I played though (since March I guess), so I pretty much have to start all over again learning the basics. Building a rocket and dropping it safely on Eve isn't a problem. Shooting a small space station in orbit of Kerbin about 200km up isn't one either. Landing on the moon however, has proven to be very fuel consuming. I've succeeded once, but I didn't have enough fuel to return. That's what made me decide to build a space station before trying again. It certainly helps, but there is something very inefficient in my current design. The first stage consists of a bunch of boosters (liquid and solids). The solids burn faster than the liquids, so I want to dump them as soon as they're out. However, it won't cut loose the solids till the liquids are out of fuel. What am I doing wrong in the staging? The final objective is putting a small self-sustaining base on the moon
