Yes, you can do it too ;)

Hi all,

Been playing Kerbal for quite a bit (about over 200 hours). Still learning a great deal about it.

Finally had some great achievements today:

• Created an SSTO that got into orbit straight away
  
• Launched 2nd SSTO into orbit
  
• Finally (with plotting help from MechJeb - not its autopilot) got 2 SSTOs to rendezvous in Kerbin orbit
  
• Docked 2 SSTOs to transfer fuel (this was a big one for me)
  
• Launced a simple yet effective fuel station to refil one of the SSTOs
  
• Put 1 SSTO in orbit around the Mun
  

My Sharktooth SSTO makes it to space in 1 go!

2 Sharktooths meet to dock

Docking completed!

Made it to the Mun

Why am I sharing this?

To hopefully inspire you to keep at it! You can do it too, it just takes time, practice and patience. And that's usually the hard part .

I'm hoping you won't need 200 hours like I did, but every small step counts.

Enjoy!

PS: Take frequent screenshots (F1) to document your progression as you build better and prettier things

Yes, screenshots help, don't they? Another thing that's great to press is called F5 for quicksaving.

Welcome to the forums!

Nice list of achievements there! Hope you'll share more of them in the future. Might want to check out the Mission Reports subforum, or the "What did you do in KSP today?" thread, and contribute to those as you go along.

And I agree with the "Take screenshots as you go" advice. I try to save at least one from every mission I do, just so I'll have a reminder of where I've been and what I've done.
