This Is *really* out of date, the newest versions of KSP include a Map to help judge your orbits, the rocket design still works though.\r
The easiest rocket I can build thatll get you into orbit with enough fuel to spare for orbital maneuvering. I walk you through building, launching, flying and correcting the final orbit.\r
\r
I suggest looking at this table of orbital speeds, it helps a great deal in astronavigation.\r

For the people looking for the extra mods in my toolbox take a look at these threads, I didnt use any in the build though, no need.\r

*WARNING* Since the release of KSP 0.10.1 the atmosphere has been extended up to 68km, so youll need to aim higher if you want a long term obit now.
