I just finished my first Sandbox Munar Apollo-style mission in v1.0.

Forgot to take a snapshot at launch. The first stage was composed of that 3200 4-cluster with two side boosters (2-cluster).

Second stage fires. You see the new fairings in place, covering and protecting the part of the stack where my LM is located.

Halfway through second stage.

Fairing jettison.

(forgot to take snapshots of arrival at Munar orbit, sorry)

LM separating from the 3rd stage which also acted as a braking stage

Rendezvous and docking with the CSM

Nearly there. I do docking purely "by eye"

My main complaint is a drastic reduction of FPS (which some said might be because v1.0 reset my GFX settings, so will look into that), but as you can see, this low FPS didn't hinder my mission.

All-in-all, as you can probably see, I am enjoying KSP v1.0
