KSP basics for Kerbal engineers 1x06 - Let's go to the Minmus and back (part 2)
After we achieved stable Kerbin orbit with our Minmus lander it is time to really do the Minmus mission! So today we will plan our maneuver, execute it, fail, correct, fail again, correct again and perform the main mission. But that's not all, during our fights with the transfer to Minmus I will explain you shortly what are gravity assists during a flyby passes around a body and how they work when we compare before and after even around Kerbin! The last important thing that we can learn today is performing aerobreak maneuver around Kerbin in a safe way so nothing explodes before a real landing (do it only if needed!).
