Can't get Mun trajectory

[Fearlessjames118]

Hi! I'm playing 1.0 and I can't seem to be able to get a trajectory with the Mun! I did everything correctly,but no new orbit trajectory pops up! Howevr,if I get close enough to the Mun,I CAN get to it,but the orbit is REALLY weird,and I can't get back to Kerbin! I don't know if this is just me being bad at the game or a bug,any help is appreciated! (I'm in Career mode By the way)

My problem has been solved! (Upgrade the Tracking Station!)

Have you upgraded the tracking station? At the lowest level of career it doesn't show encounters with other celestial bodies, which sounds like what you're seeing.

Oh! I feel so silly now! I didn't even know the tracking station could be upgraded! Thankyou so much for telling me this

Yeah, it's tricky, this Career mode. Always out to get you.

For future reference, the surefire way to get to the Mun without patched conics or maneuver nodes is to wait for it to come over the horizon, start your burn, then wait for your apoapsis to just barely come up over the Mun's orbit.

Lots of KSC buildings needs to be upgraded for you to be doing the usual stuff. For instance don't forget upgrading the CREW building or you won't be able to do any EVA's while in flight (either in space or atmosphere).
