Map not right?

Maybe you should try a few landers and dockings before trying a full on station.

Space stations are pritty advanced stuf

Guys...I really need help for this next mission, I have tried various YouTube videos, but i have yet to find one that can explain how far you gotta go to not be lost in space and not fall back into kerbin...My space station...Outcome was never suppose to happen, In my space program, Today never happened haha. But...I need a space station and/or refueling station somewhere! and...Can someone just help me please lol.

Maybe you should try something tiny ... like first get a single small spaceship into orbit (and back to Kerbin, without killing the Kerbonaut), before you try a whole space station

This Tutorial gives good directions ... including the setup of a first spaceship that can make it into orbit:

Put it in a 100km orbit around Kerbin

Alright I see your problem,

you think you need to get to a certain height to not fall back down,

it doesn't exactly work like that,

you can't just go straight up, you'll go up, and then come back down,

when you reach the space, you've gotta burn sideways so the blue line goes all the way around the planet above the atmosphere, but not too much so that you escape Kerbin,

If your still having problems when I get home from school, I can post pics of me launching a rocket to orbit, and pics of every part that's important, but I get out in a few hours and after that I might have to do my chores and that might take another hour.

OKAY THANKS FOR ALL THE POSTS!

I got a kerblenaught safely landed and the rocket into orbit! Now what should i do? do that for a couple of times, get good at it then try to get on a planet?

[Deadpangod3]

I'd try that, then try to get him to munar orbit and back, and then try landing

[Lolkillalevi]

K i'll do that for a while...Thanks for all the help! it is appriciated, And yes if you can post pics of you orbiting, that would help soooo much!

Lolkillalevi, a while back I made a written walkthrough for achieving orbit. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/25008-How-to-reach-orbit-and-a-rocket-that-can-do-it-a-walkthrough-for-newbies-(v21-1) Maybe it will help explain some things for you?
