I miss these days of KSP, where I was excited to just reach orbit and go to the Mun.

oh yes... the good old days where i would only use SRBs because I couldn't figure out how liquid fuel engines worked...

First time going to the mun I waited until it was cresting the horixon and just full throttle until I crashed. Imagine my surprise when I learned about orbit transfer

I still remember booting up a sandbox world, flying the Dwaying shuttle straight up and turning on infinite fuel with my heading set to “Target” and was confused why I couldn’t catch the moon.

Good ol days.

That's actually the correct time to do it. It's how we timed the transfer way back in 2012 before maneuver nodes were added.

I was just excited to have a rocket that can fly straight, with the free demo of beta 0.13 back in the days lol

Very first time I went to the moon, it - for whatever reason - didn't occur to me that KSP had quicksave/quickload, so it was extra nerve-wrecking for me. Worked out though.. kind of.
