Thanks alot for all the feedback! Yes, I have made a few trips to Mun with that ship. It is quite tall so I have to find flat places to land or make a few tries. Have a good amount of spare fuel so if it's not flat enough i just burn a little .On this one maybe it's the Science Lab Jr. that makes it look extra tall. It also have solar panels on the other side of the craft maybe not to easy to see in that screenshot . I'm using KSP 1.0.4 , have a feeling I will wait a while for 1.0.5. Or is it safe to update? Is there any new bugs in 1.0.5 that can be annoying? Anyway, would be really fun if some of you could post some info/screens of a "as simple and cheap" as possible for a manned Mun landing and return. Have seen some old examples of rockets, would be interesting to see some 1.0.4 or 1.0.5 Mun rockets!

Hi all, just registered here! Would like some suggestions on how to design a small Mun lander and return craft. Is this good or bad design? Any suggestions? 32 tonnes. 52 parts. - It reaches 20 km circular Mun orbit and then lands, does the science possible, plants flag etc. Then reaches 20 km circular orbit again. Returns to Kerbin with about 300-400 dV left.
