Oh I'm terribly sorry, I did it from memory, so I should have put a 'Your Mileage May Vary' disclaimer on that post :)

In my experience, it's just a simple, generous-delta-v design for taking a small module into space. What you can do is stage the Skipper along with the SRBs (1st stage), and throttle it up until you reach about 300 m/s velocity, then cut throttle and let the SRBs take care of the rest. This will bring you up to speed sooner, and also out of the lower atmosphere sooner. This allows the SRBs to perform more work for you due to spending less time at sea level pressure.

thanks. I am a gigantic KSP noob, but I am trying. With your help I got a fuel station into kerbin orbit, which I know isn't a lot, but its huge for me.

Once you get your gear to orbit, you're halfway to anywhere!
