Solved Moon Landing

[segganew]

Hello, I am new here. I started playing SFS a week ago. So far, I have managed to get stuff into orbit and crash a probe into Mercury, but I can't land on the moon. Last time I tried, I crashed. Maybe I should've gotten into moon orbit first?

Yes first get in to LEO(low earth orbit) then you should tap the moon, when doing that you should see like a light box in a part of your orbit. Once your craft has reached that box you should burn till your line says it will get to the moons circle of influence.
Once your inside you want to loose speed, do that by burning in the other direction of speed. Do that till you get in to a stable orbit, then if you want you can descend to the moon

I hope that helps.
Do the exact same thing to get back to Earth, if you have enough fuel

Do you have tips on landing on the moon?

Clarification: I had already entered the moon's SOI but crashed into the moon while trying to land.

@segganew it took me a week to even get near the moon. Just fool around, try random stuff, honestly that's the best way to start learning.
