Uh......point retrograde and burn at periapsis? I'm not quite understanding the problem here; are you simply trying to get into orbit? If so, that's what you need to do.

well im trying to get into a ORBIT around minmus it worked the first time but i didnt cut the engine so im gonna try again any other suggestions?

Sphere of influence and orbit are two different things. Once you're affected by the object's gravity, you burn retrograde to get into an orbit. Not an escape trajectory that shoots you right back out again.

Learn to play without MechJeb and without the debug console. It adds a lot of fun to the game. Also, do ALL navigation (except the landing and the final steps of docking) in orbital view to keep track of things, occasionally checking to see if you need to stage (on some spacecraft).
