Noob saying Hi! And finally landed on the MUN!

I have been playing KSP since 0.18 and mostly just messed around with it but now been trying to actually get somewhere! And i did!

Still not know how i actually did it, just luck and messing around by burning in all directions but i finally landed on the MUN! Was one of the most intense moments of my life ...

The lander bounces back a few times and not being careful with the throttle i almost shot it back into space ...

But now i want to kill myself for accidentally clicking on End Flight instead of Space Center.:0.0:

Yeah they should move the end flight buttom or atleast add a "Do you want to end the flight Yes-No" window.

Well congratulations on the landing :) If you manage to get into a orbit around the mun the hard part is over :P Aim for the retrograd marker and burn burn burn, be careful the last 100 meters and make sure you dont have a to high velocity and you should be fine :P

Thanks, i kinda hoped to fly back to Kerbin since i had still half of my fuel left! I'm trying again tomorrow. And add a solar panel and battery because the lights don't last long.

Well, you posted pics, so we can't say it didn't happen. My first Mun landing was actually an Apollo style mission. Wasn't easy, but I managed it after many rapid unplanned disassemblies and failed lithobraking experiments.

Welcome to the forums, 128MB.

Well Done on landing on the Mun, you've just passed the first step in your journey to conquer the system...

It's too bad you clicked End Flight, but, at least you get some more practice.

If you need help with anything, just ask.

Have fun playing KSP!

I also just started to attempt mun landings. This is my first... um... survivor. The landing was smooth for about two seconds. Then the whole thing tipped over.

As you can see, my lander design is not as good as yours. I put my second stage under the first because... for some reason. I wanted lights. I got carried away, I think.

Welcome and well done!

The first Mun landing is a good moment. But dont think it gets easier now, cos it just doesnt, it gets harder, but more rewarding. Im tryin to rescue a 3 man crew that i landed on Duna at the moment, only to realise i was going to run out of fuel on my insertion burn. I was even meant to take off and return to Kerbim with that fuel aswell!!

Anyway, next step, get a rover down there, then on to Minmus and beyond.

Third time landing WITH 2 rovers! but the rovers are impossible to control, the low gravity with the stupid short wheelbase makes it like driving a segway in space ... IDIOT :D but so entertaining ...

btw i found something shiny when orbiting the MUN, next job is trying to get a rover or buggy there. if i ever design one that actually drives in low gravity.

To haul them to the mun i stuck them to the sides of the lander :D

I'm having so much fun with this game since i my first succesfull landing. I even managed to be more fuel efficient again!

But after alot of pushing and a few crashes and parts shedding/exploding i have managed to drive a while in it yaay!

EDIT

WOOHOO after 2 HOURS of fiddling around with badly places rcs packs i finally docked something in the wrong port! but ignore that it still is a successful dock! It only scraped the paint a few times :D
