A good space setup (makes it there everytime with a little bit of fuel) is:Body: Jet (MAX) Launcher: Nuclear Reactor (MAX) Stages: 1. RPG (MAX) 2. RPG (MAX) 3. Ramjet (MAX)Boosts: 1. Pressurized Gas (MAX) 2. Pressurized Gas (MAX) 3. Pressurized Gas (MAX) 4. F1 Bell Nozzle (Level 7 to MAX)hold off the throttle until your launch has reached its peak, then you can throttle.
there is a very simple and easy way to destroy the moon! this makes up for all the failed attempts while earning a bunch of money! step 1: get the space shuttle body and level it up to 8 or higher. step 2: max out the kick starter. step 3: buy at least 3 sonic burst stages and max those out. step 4: buy 2 f1 bell nozzles and level them up to level 6. good luck!
Sure, but note that only works for 200k story mode... I'd recommend trying to get the 1000k challenge completed :) I did it and using a setup that was better than that I couldn't even get half-way. Good luck!
