Probably my Eve landing. Four total launches. Extremely over built. Nearly failed. Jeb was stranded on Eve for about an in-game year.

Death Engineering Apollo to Vall (by way of Mun, Tylo, Laythe and.. Eve..?!?)

Hi @Kerb24!  Thanks for the fun challenge. I always enjoy anything Apollo-ey and visiting Vall is always worth the effort.

In this mission, the launcher was closer to a Nova than a Saturn V in order to balance out the mass with the engine requirements. In this design, there are 6 Mastodons on the first stage, 5 Mastodons on the second stage and one Mastodon on the second stage.  The lander used a two stage design with a Terrier on the powered descent and landing stage and a Spark  for the ascent stage.

Flight Plan

• Kerbin launch
• Mun flyby gravity assist: +1
• Jool SOI entry
• Tylo gravity brake: +5 
• Laythe gravity brake: +3
• Vall orbital insertion and landing: +5
• Leave Jool SO
• Eve gravity brake: +5
• Kerbin SOI and landing

So I think that's 19 points.    Thanks again for the challenge!

Good job! I probably should make a badge for this.
