Hi there
I've just found out about this great sim, very well done.
Now since flying rockets is not up my ally, can someone
give me some instructions? I've read the manual. It seems easy enough to launch
the craft, but the manual says that the pitch should be changed upon reaching
certain highet, is there a rule of thumb so to speak? or is it a calculated
approach?
Thanks for helping out a newbie.

Ranger 7 was a real
spacecraft. The first Ranger missions flew past the moon becuase of
miscalculations and a hope that they might enter orbit of the moon, even
though they had way to much velocity to do such. Ranger 7 was
deliberately pointed AT the moon and successfully impacted, giving a lot of
great information for scientists here on earth about the moon and its
composition in addition to the close up pictures it returned.
