Interplanetary travel help

[SpaceshipFood]

I need help, I have tried to go to every planet and failed. ( even with the benefit of unlimited fuel)

Any tips? Good rocket designs? etc?

Thanks!

Are you departing at the correct phase angle? If not, this is an excellent tool for that:http://ksp.olex.biz/

When the launch window approaches, click your target planet's orbit and set it as target. Then you can play around with the manuever nodes and timewarp until the closest approach markers come together and give you an encounter.

This will help you with phase angles.

Also use an atomic engine for interplanetary travel.

I hope this helps you get somewhere!

The maneuver nodes are a lifesaver here. They allow you to experiment with different engine burns without wasting fuel.
