Hello people, need a little help here

[The_Steampunk_Captian]

So I\'m doing pretty good for my self, I have a few successful spacecraft, but I just can\'t seem to get to the mun. I have crafts that can do it well, but I can never get to it for some reason. Can someone help me? Also most of my crafts are 2 stages, but they could still reach it, so... I don\'t know

Welcome to the forums!

If you show me some of the craft I\'ll show you what to do.

Welcome to the KSP Forums!

Take a look at the Saturn designs for the Apollo missions. There\'s a basic design concept there that works well. Also, it\'s a lot easier if you\'re willing to install a few mods that have better parts than the stock ones. The stock parts were never really tweaked properly as their original purpose was more of a placeholder.

Happy Launching!

Arrr!

Welcome to the forums.

Can you better describe your issues? Not getting to the right orbits, running out of fuel, something else?

[shhhilent1]

Yes, please describe your problem, and what version, and post the .craft file.

Whatever, found my problem, I was getting close to the moon but I couldn\'t actually get to it and always flew past, so I figured I should attach a small fuel tank with a small booster to give it one push when flying past the moon, I haven\'t tried it out yet, but it should work

Sounds like you\'re just going to fast when you get caught by the Mun\'s gravity and sling-shotting past. When you finally get grabbed by the Mun\'s gravity, burn in the direction you are traveling (turn around backwards) and slow your speed. If you watch on the map view you will see your orbit line slowly curl around until you can see the whole orbit.

Cheers!
