I like a big rocket as much as the next person. Sometimes I suddenly shout into the night, "Moar Boosters!", flinging sweat from my frenzied brow.

I am happy to see you, but yes there is a rocket in my pocket. ;)

Okay, I realize that all sounded slightly lewd. ;) We're talking liquid fueled spacecraft here, get your mind out of the gutter. ;)

However, you don't need a big rocket to get to the Mun or Minmus. In many ways, smaller is better. The smarter you design your rocket, the more you can do with a smaller rocket, and conversely it is perfectly possible to build a gigantic rocket with gigantic engines that will never make orbit, because it is just too heavy to lift itself there. In this video, we take a very small spacecraft indeed to the Mun and back to Kerbin with much fuel to spare.

In Part II, I land on the Mun and return safely to the Kerb. Er, to Kerbin. Not the Kerb, that sounds a bit too much like landing in the gutter to me. You too can make very small Mun rockets using the principles I outlined in the description to Part I.

If you don't have Kerbal Space Program yet, what are you waiting for? Christmas? New Years? Mayan Apocalypse? Get it, get it now, obey. ;) The demo is free and buying the alpha version with automatic upgrades to the full version is pretty cheap at the moment, but once the game hits version 1, the price will go up. So you buy it now, you get all updates up to and including the full game at no extra cost once the full version is completed, and you get it cheaper than you would if you buy the full version when it comes out. And even though it is still in alpha testing, it's a blast to play. Can't beat that. ;)
