Man, I am such a shit engineer I never even managed to make a return trip from the moon. You're kind of making me want to try again. Haven't played KSP in years.

I hear 2 is bad which makes me sad.

2 is totally dead, it had a nightmare dev cycle and released unfinished then Take Two shuttered the studio

There might emerge a spiritual successor in Kitten Space Agency, from the devs of Stationeers, but it's nowhere near ready to even launch an alpha.

Hexbear oldhead founding a FOSS new KSP project would redeem vast swathes of this timeline for me, personally.

Mun/Minmus round trip is the best I can do personally. When it comes to other planets, I just adopt the Soviet approach and do everything with one-way robots. Absolutely wild the kind of things I've seen others accomplish in that game.

FWIW I think most people use mods to do the flying for them which makes the game much easier. Manually landing every spacecraft/aligning orbits is very tedious.

You gotta do at least one manual moon landing just for the experience

Oh for sure, I got to Minmus manually but I think if I had gone to Duna without mechjeb I would have had a stroke.

I like Kerbal Engineer Redux for giving the numbers Mechjeb would without the autopiloting. I also found Transfer Window Planner to be helpful for planning interplanetary transfer burns

The feeling of achievement from a successful moon round trip is one of the greatest in all of gaming. One neat thing about KSP is that replicating historical spacecraft is a very effective way to design spacecraft. Kerbal Engineer Redux is a great way to get numbers for your craft without flying it for you.
