KSP Rocket Design Tutorial
The first of a series, this tutorial teaches the basics of rocket design in Kerbal Space Program. This tutorial covers the basics of rocket power (thrust to mass ratios) and rocket control (through aerodynamic fins, vectoring engines and RCS). We also crash a few rockets just for fun. :)
I see many people who have problems with getting to orbit or with docking and rendezvous or with getting to the Mun and I really have a great enthusiasm for helping them, because I love the game and I want everyone who has it to get the most out of it. Insheeption23 suggested making a tutorial which spurred me on to this, but I had been thinking about it already as a way of helping out those who are having trouble with some stage of the game. Anyone who is having troubles with any stage of the game, please feel free to ask questions or post a video of your rocket and what you are doing with it, and I will try to help.
P.S. I realize my pointer is not showing in this video so my explanation of pitch, yaw and roll lacked a visual aid. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_dynamics
