New astronaut reporting in.

Hello to everyone in KSP community!

Having been wooed by the demo, I now own the full version and enjoying every second of it. I have an avid interest for everything connected to space and exploration of it, the spark was struck in my elementary school days, so the demo immediately played the right notes for me when I picked it up about a week ago. I have to admit that I've known of KSP's existence since 2012 (via Steam), but never got around to check it out. Am I glad I finally decided to do so!

In the demo I went through all available tutorials and I experimented a lot with different rocket builds in Sandbox mode. Now that I've got the full version, I'm playing Career mode. Currently I'm just about to launch my 1st mission towards Mun (orbiting only) to collect further science points. Looking forward to this next milestone!

I will not post any questions or ask for tips in this first post, since a lot of them have already been answered, I'm happy with browsing the threads in here and other parts of the forum. Anyways, enough for now, I have to get back to VAB and check if my engineers connected the strut connectors to the SRBs properly, so I don't see the 'jelly-effect' again, like it happened yesterday. (that was a lol/panic moment).

PS

So far, while in career mode, I have managed to keep the 'original-three' from harm. Jebediah, Bill and Bob are alive and well. But I have also recruited 3 other astronauts, who do the majority of the test launches.
