Sylon Intro

Hello KSP Community!

I picked up KSP the day after the Steam Summer Sale (yep, dropped the ball on that one), and have been failing, I mean playing, this game ever since. I enjoy it, even though I'm terrible at it. Figured I should join the forum to see if I can learn a few things so I can stop crash landing into Mun.

There are many ways to get help on the forums. Learn how to aerobrake. It might help you on your mun descent.

Hello there! Always nice to see new guys trying this out !

Aerobraking in the Mun is not the best way - Mun has no atmosphere. It makes landing harder as you can't have the help of a parachute.

Thanks, yeah I thought that was weird when I saw that. My issue when I attempted to land on Mün was running out of fuel. I used a preloaded rocket, the Kerbal X. It was probably not designed to landings on Mün.

Happy Launching!

Well, IIRC it has enough fuel to get to the Mün, but you need to not burn too much fuel on the ascent, because it is short on fuel after.

Some made it to Duna with it!
