Hello,
After a considerable amount of driving across the surface of the Mun I collected my Kerbals and returned them home. This netted me 1768.9 science (see below)
It made me wonder, what's the most science you have earned in a single mission?
I guess this is a bit of a challenge. Only one launch from Kerbin to somewhere (they could be multiple somewheres).
Hopping landers and rovers are allowed but refueling is not. You have to use the fuel you brought with you on the initial launch and once that is spent it is mission over.
However you are allowed a second launch to bring the science home.
I was rather pleased with my haul, but I am sure it can be beaten.
