Good news everyone! Now you can head out to the Mun like Apollo 11! Back in 1969 they thought it would be a great idea to get some rocks from the moon. Didn't they know we have rocks here?! This is my version of an Apollo style rocket. I call it the "Oh Paul O's". I did not try to make an exact replica, but hey, it works. Here is the mission briefing. The rocket starts off slow, so don't try to do any maneuvers until your up to around 150m/s. The first stage will take you partially through a gravity turn (about 60deg.). The second stage will take you to full sub-orbital. Your gravity turn should be finished by now. Detach the second stage. Stage again to detach the launch abort and light the third stage. The third stage will take you fully into orbit. Once your in orbit, release the faring and detach the third stage. Release the lander and swing around and attach on the docking port. Now your ready to go to the Mun! Except you need to adjust your staging, the main engine will need to be moved down and then activated. To the Mun! Park in a 20km orbit, find a nice place to land, transfer your landing crew and head to the surface. Once you have planted a flag or wiped a booger on a space rock it's time to head back. I shoot for a 10km orbit behind the command craft so I can adjust orbits and catch up. Transfer your crew! Head back to Kerbin. I am sure your mother has cookies waiting for you. Detach from the final stage before you reenter the atmosphere. The heat shield and chutes will take care of the rest. All of the main stages are can use the "Stage Recovery" mod. Good luck!
