Hello there, im not exactly a new kerbonaut, because i\'ve been playing it since 0.85. Im very happy about 0.12. Made a funny mistake yesterday. I followed th AP point precisely, and made it to the mun. However, i didnt have enough fuel to slow down. So i ended up in a orbit around the mun and kerbal forever. And that made me ask the important question: what is worse, stranded on the moon or in orbit?

I\'d say standed in orbit is worse, much harder to rendezvous in a large orbit than to land close to the stranded Kerbals on the Mun.

And welcome to the forums!

In orbit is worse. Jeb has a space suit, he can explore the mun to his heart\'s content, especially without trival limits like food, water, and oxygen.

Also wouldn\'t you eventually drop out of orbit as the Mun rotates around the Kerbin? You should either eventually drop into Kerbin\'s atmosphere or escape that orbit and get stuck going around the sun.

I once had this happen,

I went to the moon (as you do), but I went in a bit fast, so I was sent out again into Kerbin orbit.

Thankfully It rendesvouzed with the moon again.

Shame I was out of fuel.
