Hello!

Lysergic reporting in!

I downloaded the demo a few days ago, and promptly forked out for the whole game. I haven't wanted to call in sick so badly since my early WoW days... But instead I've been hoovering up any KSP info I can find while at work .

I achieved first Kerbal orbit last night using my homemade Trinity I launcher. This morning I added a few solid boosters to see if I could land a Kerbal on the Mun. Unfortunately due to my navigators lack of technique, we overshot the moon when our retro thrusters ran out of fuel. Luckily, there are plenty of supplies on the ship, and a rescue mission will be mounted after work. (Is this possible? Or would I have needed some sort of docking port? Can I have my stranded Kerbal EVA to a nearby ship?)

I'm not a fan of excessive asparagus, which will no doubt hinder my space program somewhat. As will sticking to stock parts and not using mods (unless I really should). But, my girlfriend is leaving for 3 weeks this Saturday, so I intend to have the skills and infrastructure in place when she gets back to take her on a tour of the solar system!

You need a docking port to connect with the ship but you can EVA your kerbal to safety if you get a rescue vessel close enough.

There are a load of tutorials on this forum so you shouldn't have a problem with lack of information.

Welcome to the forums!

Happy Launching!
