Basic Tutorial for Getting to the Mun

[dongriffen]

Hello!

I have played KSP in the past with friends, but I am still a fairly new player with a very basic knowledge of KSP. I do understand DeltaV, retrograde, apoapsis, prograde, and periapsis, so you don't need to refrain from using those words, but I basically need someone to quickly explain to me how to get to the Mun and even further with what I have in vanilla KSP. If any of you have YouTube accounts where you do this sort of thing, feel free to link them below and I will check them out!

Thanks guys!

You could look up Scott Manley on Youtube He has produced tutorial videos for most aspects of KSP.

A two minute task for you Aphobius, a rather skilled and experienced player. I'd bet huge sums that your first trip to the Mun took much longer, so how about not condescending to new players just because they don't have your abilities yet?

*ahem*

dongriffen, have a look at the Drawing Board, a compendium of both written and video tutorials including a couple about going to the Mun.

Oh and welcome to the forums!

I also heard mention of DasValdez somewhere that he hosts a lot of Q & A sessions on a Twitch stream. I believe you can find his stream listed in the KSP Twitch stream calendar located here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/calendar.php

Just to put another option on the table, I did an 18t Mun Landing with discussion on how to do it with no upgrades in my Let's Play. You can find that video here:

Additionally, there are a number of YouTube Tutorials out there already. You can find them most easily here:

There's a ton of options there, and the first one up (to probably very few people's surprise) is by Scott Manley.
