Docking can be one of the more difficult maneuvers to learn when it comes to judging when the correct time to burn engines to rendezvous with target, but if you can successful it can be an efficient way of landing and knowing you still have fuel left in your drive stage to return you home. I would similarly recommend training yourself by attempting to build a small (key word there. Small) space station.1 point

For your first attempt at putting a satellite into orbit this is actually quite impressive. As for matters of efficiency, before I could see the pics I seen in your parts log that you were bringing a lot of fuel and you would no question be able to achieve your goal even if you halved your final stage. You did however do a fair job with what you used. Nice use of fuel lines to feed the central tank. You may find in future that if using wings that you don't need a gimble functioning engine or vice versa as either one on their own would allow you to turn easily saving weight, mass and reducing drag if you only used the engine. (Saves buying 4 wings too! ;-D ). Remember to check the isp of the engines too, for your initial booster stage there may be other engines that are highly efficient when within the atmosphere. (I'll let you check which.) Lastly remember terminal velocity. Overthrottling too early can cost you a lot of fuel for not a lot of gain.1 point

This is a really good trailer. Although I got into ksp before the trailer, It still really inspired me.1 point

Hmm, This looks a lot like one of Scott Manley's tutorial videos. I'll be watching you brazanah Inc.1 point
