personally just for good luck i didnt buy one upgrade in the beginning, pooled together 3200 in the first shoot (when fuel is low try just moving to the left or right to as much as possible to hit more platforms and gain coins) then bought radar2, two e rockets, fuel sucker and the rest used on rocket fuel and made it all the way to mars on my second shot, by hitting all the platforms i could.
