Sucess!!!! What ended up happening was i had a complex set up to use the mun to slow down enough. What ended up happening was I used the mun to sling shot into a higher orbit where my little fuel went further so i could decrease my pe to do air braking. I took a few screen shots but dont know how to upload them. ps. Thanks for the help and suggestions

i have tried this an I'm not that good with the RCS jet pack. I am barely good enough to get back to the ship let alone push it. I'm not trying to orbit the Mun. I'm trying to get back to kerbin using the mun's gravity to slow me down at Apoapsis with out actually pulling me into its orbit or slingshotting me away. I've done a touch a tinkering with maneuvers but can never get it to decrease my Pe. Any suggestions as to how I get it to lower it?

Help please!! I'm in career mode and miss calculated my mun mission. I sent 3 kerbals and don't have enough fuel (only about 179 m/s worth) to decrease my orbit enough to get back to kerbin. I had a thought about trying to adjust my current orbit as to be influenced by the mun just enough to slow down, but not be pulled into it's orbit. Is this even possible? How would I do that? note: I know I could just do three rescue missions but I don't really want to. That is my plan B.
