So my friend couldn't get into orbit. We turned on skype and screen sharing, and I showed her how to build a stable rocket. Then she asked about Mechjeb...
I turned on my screenshare, and built...
Cockpit + parachutes
Solid Booster
Decoupler
Long 1m Fuel
Nuclear Engine
Decoupler
1m -> 3m structural cone
3m Large Orange Fuel + 6x Asparagus
Mainsail
Using Mechjeb 2. I showed her how it'll get into a 100m orbit easily, and got my nuclear drive, solid booster, and capsule up with ~3/4 fuel tank left. She said "Impress me" so I said "Let's go to Eve." With ~1,500 Delta V on my nuclear drive, I set up an interception for Mun, tapping and tugging the maneuver node to get a crash course. I let Mechjeb take us to the sphere of influence change, then set an immediate maneuver to bring periapsis to 5km. It did perfectly, and we passed so close to the surface of Mun that I actually pulled in my solar panels and angled my ship because I was afraid of hitting a mountain! Luckily, being so close gave a SUPERB gravity boost, and we quickly left the sphere of influence of Mun, and then Kerbin, entering a Solar orbit. Using Mechjeb, I then set up an inclination change and Homman transfer, but alas ran out of fuel halfway through the Homman!
So what's a little Jebediah to do? Stuck on a single solid rocket booster in solar orbit... Well, I said I was getting to Eve didn't I? I did a quick google, the stage had ~1,275 Delta V left, an SRB burns for 30 seconds, and Eve has an atmosphere. So I made a maneuver node, and set it to "Retrograde 1,275" to try and drop orbit far enough for an Eve intercept. Then played with the time, pushing the maneuver node forwards and backwards by 10's of minutes, then 1's of minutes, then by the seconds, until it would show an intercept that had no periapsis - a collision with Eve. I time warped to the node, waited until T - 15s and burned the solid rocket.
With parachutes deployed, we slam into the atmosphere of Eve at something like 15km/s or so. Thankfully the SRB is on the bottom, and takes most of the atmospheric shock as it rapidly slows down at over 15 G-Forces (that's as high as the meter foes!), the solar panels rip off, the chutes deploy, and the capsule touches down - detaching from the SRB with the force of landing at 2.5m/s and leaving the capsule on a slight hill on the surface of Eve.
And that's when I realize that Mechjeb is placed directly over the capsule door, and that we've taken Jebediah, and welded him inside a tin can using Mechanical Jebediah. My friend muttered, "That's dark."
So that's how, at 2am, I managed to get a fairly rickety, tall ship into orbit, slingshot so close to the Mun I probably could have sheared off my engine, ran out of fuel, and performed a Homman transfer using an SRB.
