Tutorial On How to get to Orbit?

[SemiaCloud]

I am new to KSP and i am playing around in sandbox mode after doing a few in game tutorials. Any advice on getting to orbit and making trips to the mun or going interplanetary?

Welcome aboard!

There's a great list of tutorials, both video and text, available here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/28352-The-Drawing-Board-A-library-of-tutorials-and-other-useful-information

Includes the subjects you're looking for as well as many other things, an invaluable resource.

That tutorial list is wonderful!

Aside to all that, I suggest you should work on small steps, one at a time. Even the amazing minds at NASA do things incrementally. So just start with seeing how high you can go, then try to beat those records with smaller, cheaper rockets. Then work on ever-longer sub-orbital flights until reaching orbit becomes a simple extension. Then work on coming back down. Then send some robot probes to fly past the Mun, impact the surface, orbit the Mun in different inclinations, etc. You get the idea.

The Apollo-style crewed landing and return mission is the first thing I wanted to do, but is actually a huge milestone to be proud of. After that, a crewed interplanetary mission is much the same. So take your time getting around to things, learn as you go, and enjoy the journey!

Oh, and its ok with me if your kerbals are disposable.

See My Signature.

The Drawing Board really is THE best place to look for tutorials, as the others said.

Of my own two, you may already be a bit beyond 'Induction To Construction', a better flight tutorial would suit you more.

'Exploring The System', on the other hand, won't teach you to fly but will give you designs for everything from flying in atmosphere to launching small satellites, visiting the moons, other planets and landing everywhere.

Your own designs will be better, because they're yours, so treat the ones in that just as examples of what can be done.

Have fun. :-)
