dont ever use return to launch pad or anything always use quick save and load etc .. quick save before launch etc...
stay away from missions that are high altitudes/ and low speed etc ... for now. stick with ones that are ALT or SPEED only .. do both only if you are sure you can do it.
use F12 to keep an eye on physics
to EVA in space you need upgrade astronaut complex first ...
hit the rest button in the build menu to reset all the stage to .. logical order
My rules of thumb for parachutes:
Mk1s are good for a ton each.
Radials and drogues are good for 1.5t each.
Mk2s are good for 2t each.

A good rule of thumb is to simply keep the ship between 200-300 m/s until you are above 12k meters so you aren't burning extra fuel to get through the lower atmosphere where you're going to experience the most drag. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-7ICWbZUDjlBrsHIS8mEEj3xIMUQwlp5
