Which Is Easier Going To The Mun OR Minmus?

[Xeldrak]

As allready stated - if you allready know how to match planes, Minmus is probably the overall easier choice. Sometimes I still crash a lander on Mün because I forget that is has some nonneglectable gravity

Well it just feels odd skipping the mun and going straight to minmus it just feels odd ecspecially because the ksp unoffificial rule is you are not a noob after you land on the mun

That is not a rule (inb4 no rules in a sandbox game)! You can go anywhere for your first planet. In fact, I think it'd be cooler to visit a distant body first; cause almost everyone lands on the Mun first. It's not bad to do things different then the norm, mang. I would take pride in saying "Yeah I landed at Duna first" or "I landed at Minmus before the Mun".

Mun:

Easy to get to

Minmus:

Easy to land on

Nothing wrong with max throttle burns. The harder you burn the faster your velocity changes. So it equals out in the end. Full power burns are generally better than low power burns since the velocity change better approximates an instantaneous change.

No point not burning full throttle in space unless you are fine tuning your apsis.

Unless your ship tears itself apart yea. But that's just a case of bad engineering.

I know its just the mun has been my goal even after I got orbit in the demo I have spent like a month on this and after countless failures I cant skip it anymore
