So, I've made a plane that goes really fast, (and loses power every ten minutes,) but I have no idea if it can actually steer, because I didn't try that. So I'll have to try that. I think Genezor Kerman will not survive this. (heheh... >:3)
After recovering our crash-landed Sonic Rainboom mk1, it's time to do some crashing flying around the Kerbal Space Centre. Maybe even do some tricks.
[Launch #1]
Ohke, launch! I flew a bit slower, because I want to be able to steer this plane, and no
I have decided that I will conquer the skies, conquer gravity, and make a plane that doesn't blow itself up. This is harder than it sounds like. Making a rocket is simple, add some fuel, add a rocket, and done. But a plane is science! There are so many things to think about that I'm not thinking about. So this is my next quest: to go at least twice the speed of sound without falling to bits, and fly around and stuff. Well shit. I'm going to be here some time.

Since I have made a lot of images, I couldn't display them all in the previous post, so here's part two of part two!
Aaaand... Landed it! Sidny Kerman rejoices as he's the first Kerbal to ever set foot on the Mun!
After spending a day on the Mun, it's time to go home. Let's just hope there is enough fuel left.
...I'm an idiot. I accidentally clicked the stage button, and decoupled the final stage. *sighs* Gotta reload a quicksave...
[RELOAD #2]
So. Got down to surface, planted
I added a lot more pictures here, because as I'm writing this at the same time as I'm playing the game. :3
So. Attempt 1 through 5 weren't a great succes. So I modified my spaceship to have more control.
I Replaced the regular rockets with rockets with thrust-vectoring. They have a bit less thrust available, but I have a lot more control, because the rocket nozzles can tilt to help control the rocket. I also moved the wings from the fuel tanks on the outside to the inner fuel tank, because
Ohke. This is my first post in trying to go to the Mun in Kerbal Space Program. I know I'm bad at this game, but I'm going to try anyway.
I thought of doing a blog on it after I begun, so here's what happened so far:
I made a rocket that looked fairly good, it used asparagus staging, (a type of efficient staging using fuel tanks you drop of once they have been used,) so I thought it had enough power in it to go to the mun.
[ATTEMPT #1]
I set the moon as my target, and launched. It
