Perhaps there is a free lunch in science! Bill recovers 363 tons more fuel than he embarks with! Awesome! #KSP

Oh, dear Kraken...that was the most sphincter-clenching aerobraking i've ever seen.

Wow I didn't realize I was featured here!  Thank you for all your work.  I am currently working on an even more outrageous mission, but won't have any more time to work on it until next weekend most likely.

I do have to say. I saw something that made me thought he had some sort of cheat on.

The only control system I saw in that video was the mk3 reaction wheel and the 2 tail fins at the back of the ship. All of those wings didn't't have any flaps on them, meaning there must of been something in that video that he didn't show us. AND...

Both the nuclear engines and R.A.P.I.E.R's don't have any gimbling on them ( Take that back. The R.A.P.I.E.R's do have gimbal, but it is very small. )

And now in realistic mode pls ;-)

[Dr.K Kerbal]

Huh?

You could most likely do this mission with just the mk3 cockpit reaction wheel.  That being said, there are two clearly visible Advanced Reaction Wheel, Large behind the 1.5m to 2.5m adaptors on the side fuselages.  =)

Only necessary for the landing on the Mun, and even that could probably be done without them.  

If I recall correctly, I only had one advanced reaction wheel and no mk3 cockpit in this mission:
