How To Get Into An Orbit ~ Tutorial


Recommended Posts

Assuming you're not being sarcastic and you do actually think this is a useful tutorial, then, unfortunately, it really isn't.  It misses out far too many important details for beginners (the people that might need a tutorial to get to orbit) and makes no mention of good practice (e.g. designing a sensible rocket, following a sensible launch trajectory etc.)

1. Ensure pointy end is up.
2. Light fuse.
3. Step back.
4. Step back more, you're still too close.
5. While the rocket ascends, you have a few minutes to apply first-aid to your burns. I told you that you were standing too close.
6. When you run out of atmosphere, turn right.
7. No, your other right.
8. No, I meant your military right!
9. Keep the rocket burning until your periapse lifts out of the atmosphere.
10. If you run out of fuel before this happens, take the 5-gallon jerry can, found behind your seat in the command pod, and walk back to KSC for more fuel.*

* Instructions for how to do this available separately, for a modest charge. ;)
