I have 5.65k left. a mission to orbit kerbin will provide some$. Althoguh, I ve orbited b4 w/ a better more expensive ship (guess my skills need help) I cant seen to do it with only 5k. I ve changed the policy from science to money, but it did not make more money...

Should I start a new game or go back to a previous save?! I am playing career. note: i upgraded to the conic tracking station (yeah) but it left me with only $5K

I will try a few more times to orbit the mission. after this: fresh start, previous save, or is there some way to salvage it?
