Aussie-made Mun Orbitter

[COBALT]

I've had a lot of projects since I got KSP recently, specifically my Phobos orbiter (my first rocket into orbit) and my Botany orbiter (my current orbiter). Any tips for improvement?

One thing you might want to try is knocking some of those fins off, or at least moving them down. You get more torque, and thus more responsive controls, the farther from your rocket's center of mass they're acting. If that lets you remove some fins and keep your rocket controllable, all the better; fins aren't exceptionally heavy, but the drag they cause (which is what they're for, after all) is fairly painful.

Thanks! I'm working on a brand new spacecraft now and will take that into consideration.

Was anyone else kind of expecting an upside-down rocket?

Not according to my map...
