I Finally Docked My Space Station

[mojobojo]

A small accomplishment in comparison to what I have seen but after about 4 hours of fiddling around with the flight controls, once forgetting to put RCS thrusters, then finally forgetting to put a parachute on the return pod. I finally docked for the first time with my space station core. This was so tedious and I learned lots of things I shouldn't do and things I should have known before starting. Now I get to do a rescue mission because there is no way to return safely.

Nice work.

that first docking is the hardest only gets easier now

It's always the best feeling in the world, your first assembled station. Now to practice assembling ships up there!

Rune. I'm quite hooked to docking myself.

yeh, first rendez-vous and docking are always a great moment

Awesome! Hopefully I'll be doing the same later today.

Second time, I did it so fast I forgot to take pictures. I undocked a part of the space station, dropped it into the atmosphe,rerotated out the kerbals, and brought them home safely. This was also the first time I ended with too much fuel.
