Trying to Get to the Mun

[Little Kerbonaut!]

Here's my Mun mission report.

Status: Failed

So here's what happened, I was going to the Mun in a pretty small rocket. I was on the dark side of the Mun so it was hard to see I kept doing little engine burns to try and slow me down. Next I failed to use my engines, I ended up hitting the Mun to fast. that was the closest I ever got to the Mun.

Do you have screenshots of your total failure ?

[Little Kerbonaut!]

Sorry no I forgot to take a screenshot when I was trying to land, I also don't know how to upload images from my file explorer.

Congratulations!

10-20 more of those and you'll be ready to land!

Seriously though just getting that far is a great feat. Well done.

Thanks!

Keep at it!

Here's a picture from over 6 years ago.

The one time I actually landed a crewed craft on Mun, back in KSP 0.23.  But see that little line of grey between the engine and the craft.  I broke it. I abandonned that mission in my career and set about trying to fix the craft so that didn't happen.  Later abandonned that career.

Since then, I've landed a lot of uncrewed craft on Mun and Minmus.  Some of them even returned to Kerbin.  But due to how I was playing KSP and loss of a major mod (BTSM) and playing a lot on Kerbin, I've never taken a crew to the Mun.  I hope to change that really soon.

So keep playing KSP!

Nice job on landing on the Mun. I can't believe how much the graphics changed from back then to now.

By the way, how did you put that screenshot into your reply?

Your progress so far has been typical.

To share pics here, upload them to a sharing site such as Imgur.com and copy the link they provide into your posts.

Okay, thanks for telling me!

An image editing program is also helpful.  On Windows, I use IrfanView 64 to crop my screeshots.  Just install the latest version followed by the same version plugins.
