I overshot the moon by alot. Nowi know how to get out the atmosphere i need to figure out how to control the ship in space.

This game is a stupid amount of fun.

Good job. That's a major accomplishment getting out of the atmosphere for the first time

The next thing you need to do is establish an orbit around the planet Kerbin. For missions where I plan on going to different celestial bodies, I usually get in a stable orbit of around 100,000 meters but as long as you're above 70,000 you should be able to create a stable orbit.

Here's a video on how to get into a stable orbit (This guy has some mods in his video so don't worry if your game doesn't look exactly like his):

After that, use your maneuver nodes on the map menu to plan burns so you can get encounters with other celestial bodies. Just focus on getting into orbit right now though.

If you already know how to get into orbit though I apologize for this explanation.

I have no idea how to get into orbit. I just strapped like 100 boosters in 16 separate decouple stages attached to a rocket and fuel tank and a lander engine and fuel tank.


I'll post a pic in a few.

I launch basically straight up and blast out the atmosphere but by then I'm out of fuel in my stabilizer things so I'm screwed and my rocket just drifts forever upward.

I have to learn how to get into orbit without blowing all my stabilizer fuel. Because without it I can't change direction in space. And if I don't use all my stabilizer ability the rocket turns upside down and crashes into the ground
