The energy turn (45 degree turn to the 90 degree direction at around 10,000) will help you a lot. It uses the rotation of the planet to your advantage.
What air said. Also I hear it's best to keep your speed below 200m/s until you get above 10,000m. I guess the atmosphere is like soup, you'll burn all of your fuel pushing against the air unless you wait until you're above most of it.
That's good info. Ill have to try to keep speeds down and see what I can do.
Right now, I am trying to just land on the Mun. So far, the closest I got was skipping across the surface till I blew up.
I dont know why the contracts have you go to the mun before minmus. its closer and on an equatorial orbit, but minmus is SO much easier to land on and return from. Nice, big flats and low gravity. The Mun is kindof a pain without much stuff unlocked.
