Help!

[ReigningKing]

 

I am fairly new to the game and need some guidance on... well many things actually but, its obvious the without a good spacecraft i'm not going to get far.

With this being said can anyone guide me in the direction of a video or tutorial that can help me understand simple rocket engineering and the physics around it?

Hey RK, welcome to the forums. Scott Manley taught me almost everything I know about KSP, and even though his videos are a old now, all the principles are still valid.

Its kinda simple. You throw stuff onr way, stuff throws you the other way. Engines throw fuel away very quickly, so rockets fly. I believe you can open the tutorial on this forum and search for guides for beginners.

Tbh, I learned most of what i know about KSP from messing with it and also from the in game tutorials. those can be helpful. also, apply real world principles such as the thrust-lift-drag-weight of planes and aerodynamics (meaning make it as streamlined as possible so that it goes thru atmosphere nicely).
