Hello Everyone, I created this thread just to understand from the experienced to the newbie that has been in a real tough spot and got out of it or has failed.
My contribution.
Fail:
I doing my first sling from Earth>Venus>Mars>Saturn with IMFD. I forgot to do a correction burn to Mars and missed the planet. I never had enough fuel so i pulled up scenario editor and kept adding fuel till i was able to do a return to Earth. I was doing a good aerobrake when the did not like that i cheated and my spacecraft flipped 180 degrees and burned up a Mach 35.
Another Fail:
I was going from mars. I wasted a lot of fuel on a burn. I left the throttle on a little to long. With low oxygen and trying hard to figure out how to get to earth, I made one final correction burn. When i got to earth i had only 10.4% of fuel in the XR2. I then executed my first aerobrake. I had success. I then burned the last of the fuel to do a re-entry. I quickly screwed that one up when i used to much of a burn and was too steep.
