Hello!

My goal for now is to (semi-realistically) land on the Mun!  I know it must be really easy for y'all, but it's quite hard for me.

Welcome to the forum @TheEpicElectron! 

I remember trying to do just about anything for the first time in KSP seemed like a daunting task. Don't be afraid to fail, this is one of the core tenets of the game and don't hesitate to ask questions if you have problems, we're a friendly and helpful bunch of KSPeeps here.

Thanks, that's very kind of you!

It was not easy for us all. I reached Mun fairly shortly after getting the game but then crashed for 4 days straight before landing something intact. But it was one of my most satisfying gaming accomplishments when I did.

I still crash from time to time. Then you have to figure out how to un crash them. 
 

My most recent was landing a Science-lab and base on Ike. I ended up with not quite enough power to run the lab and drills and fuel processors and food production  untill I scrounged some stray solar panels (yes on Ike, I had a extra set of mono prop com sats, soft landing them was a pain) and brought out a power production station and extra drill.

Dont be so sure. I've been playing for 3 years, and It still takes me about a day to do test launches and get everything right.

I recentley landed on the Mun and after landing, I realized I didnt have enough fuel for a returned flight, which sucks because I dont like to revert saves. All it takes is a little preperation and test.

It really and truly is. It's even better when you land on a whole 'nother planet
