Remember your first launches?

[Ival70]

I remember my first launch.. couldn't even figure out how to start the thing (hold shift). My second launch was much better, made it all the way to (a messy inclined, elliptical) orbit.

[Jetenginestar]

My early crafts I made airplanes first before making rockets

My first VTOL that can takeoff but can't land, back when overpowered reaction wheels didn't existed...

I will always remember doing Mun orbit transfers by raising the apoasis 15 degres ahead of the Mun technique as taught by the game tutorial, I had no idea orbital planners exist LOL

I cant remember exactly but i think the first launch was like

Command pod with lfo and engine

Launch pad

Hitting space

Waiting for lift off

Clicking like a madmann evrything on screen

Thinking that doing the tutorial might be a good idea

After that i had ( and have till now) many staging errors, twr issues, etc.befor i got to orbit

And jeb had to fly 40km in EVA to a rescue commandpod because he had played around with the throttle to much to get back home

But i made it to the moon without any further tutorials (i only made the basic ones) and that was very satisfying

Ohhh... I remember trying to launch with jet engines with rocket fuel... (It worked that day with out any air intakes. 0.17!)

[Aragosnat]

Off hand only remember that I played the demo first. And was able to get to the Mün using just those parts and then bought it a while later to keep me busy while waiting for Star Citizen.

[Brofessional]

Back before the Mun had been invented.

Yup. I flew like I was playing Orbiter - and without Orbiter's HUD or orbit MFD had a bit of trouble. Eventually figured out that that was what the Navball and map view were for. Then watched a Scott Manley tutorial video or four and haven't looked back. Rockets rule.

I had just downloaded the demo because the trailers made the game look awesome. I hastily put a rocket together, not knowing which end should point where. I made it to about 8km when my boosters became WMDs. One lit booster spun around at killed Jeb in his pod. The look on Jeb's face just before death put me into hysterics.

I immediately bought the full game.

My first play was on version 0.10.1 I thought the objective was to simply fly straight up as fast and far as you could.. I felt quite sad when I managed to reach escape velocity in a craft that had no chance of stabilizing and no fuel. I gave it up for some time after that, but can't back somewhere around the release of 0.18.

My first launch was a simple rocket and it was in sandbox mode. It made a 75km x 100km orbit with ease. I almost quit playing after that then I found FAR and DRE. I have been hooked ever since, making space plane SSTOs since 2013.

[The Destroyer]

It was hard. I used an entire Mun rocket with an old abandonded mod that I forget its name, but I loved. Few launches later I made it to the Mun! And later, much later, with my won craft

[WhiteWeasel]

One of my first Mun rockets. I'm amazed to think I got there on such a piece of junk.

[Rainbowtrout]

Engine, fuel tank, capsule.

[GloriousWater]

I put a Mk 1 pod on the biggest SRB I could find and went straight up to something like 201km.

Jeb somehow survived that flight by jumping out and not even slowing down with his EVA pack...... Yeah.

I remember when I found out about the game when it was 0.9. Back then there was no Mac support so I went straight for the Scott's tutorials, and started learning before I could even play the game. When 0.11 came out I downloaded a bunch of OP mods, and started mucking around. I even remember my first rendezvous, with no map indicators, or anything. Was so proud of myself. And then I laser'd the other vessel immediately.
