Ive had this idea watching a Minecraft video. The idea is to basically build an Aircraft Carrier, using empty fuselages to float and structaral Wings to make a runway, then let it into the Ocean near KSC, and land a plane ontop of it. Rules: -Landing must use the gear bay -Mods are allowed - The Carrier and the Plane must stay intact I havent been succseful yet, but according to a few tests, the longest possible runway should have just enough space to land on, if you fly near perfectly, and land at less than 40 m/s.

contrary to the moons Orbit means 270 Degrees, right?

What is the best way to get back once you reach the moon? I land there with about 1/2 a tank of liquid fuel, but have no idea how to get back. I tried just aiming for the earth, but that didnt work.

Yes. But anyway, I have built a new craft already thats more stable.

thnx. I will try again with a little bit less.

So I have already built a few Orbit-Rokets, and now want to go to the mun. However, I always get stability Isssues at about 7500-20000 meters. The roket just suddenly turns, as ift its top were drawn to the earth. I tried moving the SAS and installing winglets, but it didnt help. My current design is in the Attachment. I already checked the center of mass and thrust, and cant find any assymetries.
