Yeah. I have an engineering degree but never really thought much about orbital mechanics. My first try at KSP I just overbuilt a rocket and aimed it directly at the mun. I missed. Quickload. Back on target, sudden realization that I need about 6000 dV to slow down in time. Watch a Scott Manley video -> instant understanding. It's definitely one of those things that once you understand it, it's mind boggling how often space is depicted incorrectly.
