Bang for your Buck! challenge

[tomf]

The Goal

Measure the biggest impact you can.

For this I recommend using the bangometer from my mod Impact!

Doing the maths by hand is permissable if you don't want to install the mod.

There are two scores for this challenge

1. Largest colision energy
   
2. Highest colision energy/rocket launch cost
   
3.

The biggest bang since the big one

2. tomf - 161GJ

Rules

The bangometer can get to the surface in any way you want, it isn't part of the challenge. (I used hyperedit)

Mods are permitted as long as they don't give an unbalanced advantage.

For the biggest bang a screenshot of the science report from the bangometer is prefered.

Otherwise a screenshot that shows the current surface velocity and the current impactor mass will be accepted. Energy is calculated as 1/2mV².

For the bang for the buch challenge a shot showing the cost in the VAB.

Docking and refueling etc is permitted if but the final cost should include everything that was used in the mission, even if it is reusable.

No abusing any kind of exploit.

My probe crashed into Moho at a speed of 4259m/s for a kinetic energy of 161GJ.

Who will be the first into the TeraJoules?

Here's my attempt:

Launch Price: 253,846

Mass when final stage fuel runs out (no further mass changes possible): 15,840kg

My vertical speed a fraction of a second before lithobraking on Minmus was reported as 6,787.4m/s over Minmus' "Slopes" biome.

I don't know if my screenshots provide enough information to calculate a score, so I'll let you decide...

It's your total speed that matters so from your screenshots you have 6816m/s

I calculate that your KE as 368GJ and your bang/buck as 1.45MJ/fund.
