Some of you might remember me by this silly little mission, fancy I know, anyway I decided to make a manned mission this time, the landing and getting back, the works!
Because Mun is too cold to stay there anyway.

Sooo... sooo... sooo... at first the mission was simple, to land and get back, after two failed attempts the mission had to be changed into a rescue mission, thus I had to use the big capsule - roll the tape!

Second attempt (the first one crash landed, the capsule survived, but sadly the pilot got depressed and committed suicide).

Perfect landing, wait... but where will we get the fuel to get back? NEXT!

Third attempt, rescue mission, yet again a failure, not enough solar panels. The pilot has survived, sadly that means we'll have to rescue him too.

Meanwhile the stranded pilots rendezvous to inspect the remains of the first lander, they play tic tac toe for a while...
