how to get to the mun from launch


Recommended Posts

You would have to launch so as to reach apoapsis at roughly the same time the Mun rose above the horizon, so you would skip the circularising and continue burning out to a mun intercept, look at some of the videos and see where the mun is roughly in relation to the KSC

Or generically speaking ...

accelerate upwards at the correct angle until your Apoapsis hits munar orbit (~11 Mio km)

choose the angle in a way that your spaceship gets into munar SOI when reaching Apoapis.

Did it a few time before maneuver node were introduced ...

naturally needs much more fuel than the standard way
