Took me about 2 days, but I played a lot over a weekend and i watched lots of youtube videos and I kind of crashed the first couple times. i was using the demo, if that makes any difference. mainly i just copied Scott Manley's tutorial

I think I landed on the Mun on my second day playing, but I played an awful lot those two days, and didn't go again for another week. I tried a simple lander as soon as I was able to get stuff to orbit, and it worked fine. Unfortunately I didn't get a screenshot (I tried - the built-in screenshot key doesn't work on Mac, it seems, and the system screenshot key involves the shift key... which throttled my lander back up and up I went ) But I started focusing on building bigger ships and docking stuff early on. I didn't really go back to the Mun until I was starting to plan for interplanetary missions. My first trip to Duna took about three weeks with a big elaborate ship, part of which was a big lander with a rover slung underneath, and another separate small lander. I think I could build a smaller, no on-orbit-assembly required, manned mission with what I know now, but building those giant ships is a big part of the fun for me. Still, I'll probably try some smaller ships eventually. I've been trying to build low kerbin orbit to Mun and back to Kerbin self contained landing rovers right now, but the idea is to take one of those on my next Duna run, or wherever I go.
