Cut engine to zero, Warp in time, till you hit the yellow bit, where it will draw a new line. Turn around 180degrees and throttle up, the new line wil slowly come in and encircle the mun, if you want to orbit leave it in a circle, I you want to land keep it throttle up, until the lines intersect the moon, throttle down to zero %, when down to about 50000m altitude throttle up and slow your decent.

Thanks
I'll bare that in mind for next time, i warped too fast and missed the moon
I did the same and ended up in orbit around the star
Star = Kerbol
Planet = Kerbin
Species= Kerbals
Moon = Mun
Just for refference guys.
Gleeecooo: in you picture. The orange moon represents where the the moon WILL be once you enter the orange line.
Also when your turning around 180Degrees, look for a green arrow with the lines at funny angles (On nav ball) the is optimal decent vector.
Youtube is your friend too learn quickly. (But trial an error is more fun)
Also land slower than 2m/s an with no lateral drift, or it'll break up.
I personally find using uptimal desent vector, until 100 meters at 5/10m/s.
Then engage ASAS with the nose pointed straight up, us main thrusters to reduce speed to 1-2m/s an Translation RCS to stop all lateral drift.
Greatly simplifies landing work load, only have 2 Dimensions to manage, rather than 4 normally.
Easy as crashed Kerbal pie.

Thanks Sean, trying to do it without videos to show me, just so the novelty lasts a bit longer

Took your time! Get posting your creations
Wasn't my fault
And I fail at this already, have no idea of what to put where and I also lack creativity
Better watch some vids first!

Plane....to the mun? must try this again :\
Congradulations.
So where are the screen shots of your crazy inventions..
Opps, I am sorry Cleeecooo.Thanks Sean, trying to do it without videos to show me, just so the novelty lasts a bit longer

Novelty?
The nolvelty of establishing Kerbin/Mun/Minimus orbits, or a Mun/Minimus bases from 5-10 landed rockets all within 200ft radius..
Or finding, an creating a airplane junkyard on a far away KSC.
Honestly if it weren't for the fuel flow bug, I'd never play another game.
In my rocket design's I use paralel fuel tank + engines.

The novelty of just making stupid stuff, then making I fly

Lol
The stage with the biggest number is the one tht happens first.
EG, you could have solid boosters in stage 5
Then the decouplers for them in stage 4
Then some ,liquid engines in stage 3
Then their decouplers in stage 2
Then parachutes in stage 1
If that was your stage order, youd get solid engines igniting at the forst space bar press. Then they would decouple. Then when you press space again, the liquid engoines decoupl... etc

That was just an example Glaucus!
