I Tried Kerbal Space Program For The First Time || KPS Gameplay Challenge

Today we challenged our famous Infographics challenger to mastering the Kerbal Space Program game. He documents his process of building new rockets, and the many deaths in space. Does our challenger stand a chance of landing on the Mun? And if he does, will he have enough fuel to get him back? You have to watch this funny new gameplay video to see what happens!

The thing I love about KSP is that it has a very long and gradual learning curve. You start by just pressing space bar, then finding out that liquid engines need to be throttled, then going to orbit, then going to the Mun, then going to orbit efficiently to save more fuel, then Minmus, then Duna, and then anywhere else. You don't have to be a professional rock climber to climb a hill, and KSP's learning curve is that hill.

[@Dawid23_Gamer]

'This is KSP, and here is no problem that can't be solved with moar boosters.' Truer words have never been spoken, although, the most efficient Mun and Minmus landers are actually a combined descend and return stage, since that module is usually small and leight enough even for late game to get on the surface on either of the bodies and then return safely, especially considering the lack of atmosphere and small gravity. Apollo-style landers are only really a thing for inter-planetary flight since these bodies are significantly more massive and can include an atmosphere too.

For the g-turn, it wasn't too early; it was too late (too steep). The general rule of thumb for highest efficiency is to have a heading of 45° at around 10km. Btw use F5 to quicksave and F9 to load the quicksave.
