I had a lander sitting in orbit around the Mun so I thought I would give this a go. Starting from a 100k Orbit Option A. Deorbit at AP so PE is roughly around Landing Target De-orbit Burn - 54 m/s Deceleration Burn - 672 m/s Landing - 267 m/s Total - 993 m/s Option B. Decelerate to 0 m/s above Landing Target and descend straight down. De-orbit Burn - 0 m/s Deceleration Burn - 484 m/s Landing - 519 m/s Total - 1003 m/s Option C. Let Mech Jeb 2.0 do the landing. De-orbit Burn - 125 m/s Deceleration Burn - 622 m/s Landing - 51 m/s Total - 747 m/s So it looks like there isn't much difference between the 2 options (at least in the game). Mech Jeb doing better was due to doing a better landing than I did manually. It would be interesting to see what values others come up with.

637) Spending hours getting a fragile Mun Rover onto the surface in one piece. Then this..... TRANSMISSION START Bill: Velocity 20m/s, need to slow down, its a bit unstable. Jeb: I know what I\'m doing. Watch this.... WARNING... HANDBRAKE ENGAGED!!!! .... .... .... TRANSMISSION LOST....

What Music Do You Listen To While Playing KSP!?
Mr Cord replied to btymciw's topic in KSP1 Discussion
While sitting here reading the forums and watching a sunset on Mun just noticed my song list is fairly appropriate. Pink Floyd. - Pigs on the wing - Learning to fly - Coming Back to life (my kerbals do that ALOT) - Have a Cigar (well I did manage to get a lander to Mun with no MechJeb, just need to get back in one piece now )
