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 those fuel tanks get thrown of, and with them the wings. I don't want that.

It's time for the launch... >:3

[ATTEMPT #6]

Ohke, Launch is go! Everything goes fine, the craft stays stable. The only problem is the speed. This thing is way slower than my previous rocket. But it goes up, so that is good. It even got past the 13 kilometer mark! New record = set! Huzzah! Sidny Kerman, my brave and not at all forced to do this volunteer, enjoys his trip to space. After some time we reach a stable orbit.

Now it's time to do the burn to get to the Mun! I set up a maneuver node, and got an encounter.

The burn went terrible. I didn't have enough fuel in the first stage, so I had to ditch that one half way and use my nuclear rocket. That all resulted in my burn being way to late to follow the maneuver. So I threw the maneuver node out the window and just burned until I got an encounter. I got an encounter, and it looks like I'll crash into the moon. Good.

Now to not crash into the Mun.

I'm now on a collision course, so I'll just slow down with my thruster, land softly, get out, dance around a bit, get in, and hightail home. This will go wrong somehow. I can feel it.

And I messed up. I used time acceleration, and accidentally clicked on times 100.

Great.

Luckily I had a quick-save specially for cases like this. So:

[RELOAD #1]

Ohke, I didn't mess things up with time accelerations. Good. Now I'm trying to slow down and now die.

The descent goes well, I have massive acceleration on this thing!

It turns out that I made too much images, so I'll have to insert another part! :/
