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 went well, it went up, fuel consumption was really slow, which surprised me. With the asparagus staging two of six tanks burn quick, then you drop them. then the next two, etc. But here all tanks burned just as fast. It turns out I forgot the fuel ducts to make the fuel go from tank to tank. Great start.

So I added the fuel ducts, and launched again. Hopes high, this was it. :3

[ATTEMPT #2]

I launched it, and went up. I made the mistake of turning north, as I should have turned east, but I recovered, and flew on, even though it wobbled a bit. Around 13 kilometers my rocket spun out of control, and I couldn't keep it straight any more. Probably because of my weird start. Okay, let's try again.

[ATTEMPT #3-5] (These are identical. I don't learn quickly. :/ )

A normal launch, a normal flight, up until about 13 kilometers, where the rocket spins out of control. Great. Aerodynamic problems. I love 'em. ;~;

Clearly my current design wasn't going to cut it. I had to add more control, and things to keep us stable. Maybe more wing's at the bottom? I'll try.

[Final results]: Failure! Didn't even leave the atmosphere! ;-;

[Completion]: 5% (That's not much for an hour of stress... ;-; )
