I finally broke down and got the full version this weekend, playing career mode, what's the best ways to get science? Besides checking out the goo and going EVA.

If you get your kerbal out of the rocket and have him stand on a surface you can take a surface sample. Just right click and the option will come up. The big science thing you want is the materials bay but I don't think you've unlocked that quite yet.

Kerbin has a large number of biomes in which you can generate science. Take off and fly north, east, south, and west. Land in a different environment each time. Write a crew report on the launch pad, runway, lower atmosphere, upper atmosphere, north pole, south pole, on a mountain, in the ocean, in the desert, and anywhere else that you can think of. In each location you need to observe goo, crew report, eva report, and take a surface sample. Once you get a science bay you can repeat the process if you need more science.

If you get to the point where you can fly around the Mun and make it back but you can't quite land, do some low flyovers and do science close to the Mun. Early on it takes an expert design to land on the Mun. As more parts are unlocked it becomes easier and easier. Once you have everything unlocked a Mun mission is ridiculously easy because they trivialize getting into orbit with the power of some of the rocket motors that become available.

I found that once I had a design which allowed me to travel anywhere that I desired on Kerbin the science started flowing in.

The pet rock series has been quality so far.

I love how Robbaz is always surprised when his shite actually works. Danny is also a quality watch, dude has found more ways to break the game than I can even imagine.

I almost pissed myself when I watched the first Pet Asteroid video.

Is this the greatest game ever created?

yes

Yeah, I am having trouble getting any science points. I can get kerbals in orbit with ease, but I don't have enough fuel to get back from the mün.

There's like 7 biomes on kerbal, take surface samples, goo readings, the matter in the science junior gives a lot of science quickly. Once you get something that will orbit you can travel all over the planet easily.

Safely orbiting mun, but I can't get a fight path to take me anywhere near kerbin...help?!?

Thanks! It wasn't pretty but landed back on kerbin. Couldn't get in orbit but I'm managed to make a beeline from the mun, hit the atmosphere at 3000 m/s, had enough fuel to slow me down and landed safely.
