and tons of streams and tutorials trying to learn the game beforehand! if any experienced players here wouldn't mind showing a noob

the ropes of this game would be AWESOME! lol My steam id is Ninjamarr feel free to add and chat and play!

Here's a famous quote: "He who can get his ship into orbit is halfway to anywhere." That being said, your first rockets should probably be orbiters. After that, you will probably want to try landing on another world. I recommend landing on Minmus first because although it is further out from kerbin, it requires less delta-v (rocket power) to land on and return.

You might already know this, but one of the best players of KSP is on YouTube: Scott Manley.

A final note: The game might seem intimidating at first, but is easy and fun to learn. It even comes with some tutorials! I bought the game only about a year ago, and now I can say I've made round trips to the Mun, Minmus, and Duna!

I hope this post helped you. Happy landings!

EDIT: If you want to plan your missions without just winging it (pun intended), Kerbal Engineer Redux is an awesome mod. It automatically tells you how much delta-v your spacecraft has, so you don't run out of fuel or overpower the craft. A diagram displaying the amount of delta-v needed to travel to any destination in the Kerbol system can be found here.
