follow the ingame tutorial or the advice given to you in general

#

did you follow the tutorial?

#

or follow the video given to you?

#

yes

#

the training center

bright bronze
#

you watched tutorial online?

#

send a pic of your rocket

#

how are we supposed to help you if you don't even have a rocket lol

#

what was wrong with the one from the tutorial?

#

do you start turning during the ascent?

#

try another tutorial

#

how else are you going to learn?

#

start by making a rocket

#

make the rocket from the tutorial

#

send a pic

#

bruh I'm working lol

#

ok

#

remove the useless crap from the rocket

#

like battery and stuff

#

add two boosters on decoupler and you should have more than enough to spare fuel to get an orbit

#

on the side

#

radial decoupler

#

exactly

#

and you can put a cone on them

#

one that has the right size for your rocket

#

no

#

the solid rocket booster

#

no

#

a solid rocket booster

#

yeah that

#

yeah

#

maybe put them lower

#

you probably want to run them at the beginning anyways

#

as low as they'll go

#

you can start turning at something like 2km

#

then you gradually continue turning

#

north?

#

you keep your engines on until your apoapsisis over 70/80 km

#

east

#

then you timewarp to just before the AP and

#

and you fire prograde

#

you click on the path right before AP

#

and select "time warp to position" or wahtever it's called

#

then you point the rocket in the direction it's already going

#

it's called prograde

#

it's one of the two green circles on the navball

#

then you fire your engine until your periapsis is above 70/80km

#

exactly

#

do the tutorial again

#

the periapsis is the lowest point of your orbit

#

the point on your orbit which is the closest to the body

#

experiment

#

have fun

#

try things

#

I think they cover those terms and the general steps of getting to orbit

#

almost

#

but as you can see your periapsis is too low

#

yeah but you PE is below the surface

#

it will crash

#

wrap to AP and fire prograde again

#

also why did you go north lol

#

that's not east

#

I think you went north

#

what does your orbit look like?

#

still too low

#

continue prograde

#

you see that big crash warning right?

#

how high is PE?

#

crongrats!

#

you made it to orbit!

#

now practice

#

improve

#

try things

#

discover

#

build

#

and CRASH

#

now you have to land back

#

yeah

#

if you click on the kerbal in top right you can go EVA

#

lol did you go away from the rocket

#

you can press R to enable the jetpack and try to reach it back

#

oh ok

#

I think it's space to jump?

#

no

#

you can press F5 to quicksave and F9 to load the last save

#

probably a bug

#

what do you mean pot?

#

you can press R to enable jetpack

#

oh

#

you dropped all your stages lol

#

it's a pod

#

not a pot lol

#

now you have to do a rescue mission!!

#

anyways I have to go, have fun!

#

yeah

#

that's what a rescue mission is

#

it's another rocket to go save the kerbal that's stranded

#

you'll need a rocket with more seats tho
