Man, I am such a shit engineer I never even managed to make a return trip from the moon. You're kind of making me want to try again. Haven't played KSP in years.
Mun/Minmus round trip is the best I can do personally. When it comes to other planets, I just adopt the Soviet approach and do everything with one-way robots. Absolutely wild the kind of things I've seen others accomplish in that game.
FWIW I think most people use mods to do the flying for them which makes the game much easier. Manually landing every spacecraft/aligning orbits is very tedious.
I like Kerbal Engineer Redux for giving the numbers Mechjeb would without the autopiloting. I also found Transfer Window Planner to be helpful for planning interplanetary transfer burns
The feeling of achievement from a successful moon round trip is one of the greatest in all of gaming. One neat thing about KSP is that replicating historical spacecraft is a very effective way to design spacecraft. Kerbal Engineer Redux is a great way to get numbers for your craft without flying it for you.
i'm waiting

I hear 2 is bad which makes me sad.
2 is totally dead, it had a nightmare dev cycle and released unfinished then Take Two shuttered the studio
Oh that sucks
There might emerge a spiritual successor in Kitten Space Agency, from the devs of Stationeers, but it's nowhere near ready to even launch an alpha.
I am lowkey doing the same thing in Godot lmao
Hexbear oldhead founding a FOSS new KSP project would redeem vast swathes of this timeline for me, personally.
Hell yeah
If it involves cats say no more I'm there

You gotta do at least one manual moon landing just for the experience
Oh for sure, I got to Minmus manually but I think if I had gone to Duna without mechjeb I would have had a stroke.
