I\'ve managed to get a small spaceship to the mun by following this method: [ship: 1 command pod: decoupler: 4 LFEs : 1 LF engine (no gimbaling): 6 SRBs ] At 20k from launchpad tilt 10degrees, at 35k : 45 degrees, at 50K turn to 75 degrees and continue burning this way. You will manage to get an orbit crossing the mun\'s trajectory if you time things right, otherwise you will fall back to kerbin and enter atmosphere as the periapsis will still be inside the atmsophere. You shoud also have enough fuel to get into orbit with the mun (but not land on it). [PS You can always crash on it the kerbal way ]
