So I sent a Mini-MunShip to the Mun last night on Twitch. This is the Image gallery: https://imgur.com/gallery/zXBHTwG 

The Mission Refuel in LKO and continued to the Mun. We lost one of the engines docking with the fuel cache, so its symmetrical counterpart was disabled. Transfer to the Mun. Rendezvous and Docking with the Gateway and then down to the South Pole for SCIENCE! 

My Helping with Points:

 SpaceK MunShip

• Single-stage, launches on a single booster - 20 points- CHECK
• No monoprop thrusters - 10 points - CHECK (didn't realize that verniers were ok, revisions might happen)
• Uses nine separate canted-out landing engines - 15 points - CHECKish (one broke so 2 non-operational)
• Refueled in orbit - 30 points - CHECK
• Uses fixed solar panels around a docking port in the nose - 12 points - CHECKish (except for the crew hatch)
• Lowest part - 30 points - 101 with launcher + rover , 71 with Rover, 48 just MunShip

Bonus points (cumulative, all entries):

• Land within 100 km of the south Munar pole - 30 points - CHECK
• Land at the highest elevation of any entry - 50 points - 6581M
• Deploy science packages carried on vehicle - 10 points - CHECK
• Deploy a rover - 20 points - CHECK
• Lowest dV TLI->Gateway->LMO  - 35 points : 520M/sDV

First Challenge I've done it was lots of fun, I got a video of everything post initial launch that probably won't get put on the internet. The only screw up was when I forgot to turn on the fuel cell after landed and the rocket tipped over when it's juice ran out. I didn't forget to save once landed though so no big deal, I'm so use to playing without saves/reverts it kinda felt like cheating. I have a baby Dynetics that will go next, we performed a crew rotation on this mission so we are good for the next one.

Well I got a starship ready for flight let's see how that goes.

Yeah, this spacecraft wasn't working so I had to scrap it. Pretty sad though, I might try Dynetics or national team but for now no submission.

So I just found this, and I made this yesterday, so I feel like I would submit it. It's I guess most like kational team?
