I just got the game, started on career mode, but I have no idea what I am doing. I sort of like it that way, figuring how everything works (with my very limited equipment, never tried sandbox.)

After struggling for a while, I finally am able to get into orbit. I feel like I am a long way from making it to Mun. I am worried if I just look up a tutorial on how to get there, it will ruin the discovery for me.

I guess I am asking, is it possible to keep having fun in this game without having to look up how stuff works, or will I get stuck and not be able to make progress without reading some guides? What is the minimal I can read about to still have fun figuring stuff out for myself.
