[ExI] It's not rocket science - Well, it is actually.

If OpenRocket seems way too complex, try this
stepping stone:

Do a few launches to get the hang of it.  Then, try
to get something in orbit - no matter how crude
and sloppy (also known as "elliptical").  Once you
can do that, you'll have more or less mastered
what KSP provides, and you might be ready for
OpenRocket.
