My (FINALLY) Apollo mission

[Spacetraindriver]

After like a year of making a proper, working Saturn V, and ANOTHER year of trying to sacrifice functionality over looks and a couple months of preparing I have FINALLY landed on the Mun! (Sorry for lack of [THE ONES FROM THIS MISSION] pictures, I had a recording but in my excitement I pressed "Don't Save". Looks like my viewers only have the return!)

Launch is as usual. Though it was in the evening. It is a bit slow climbing but other than that, pretty normal. Self-destructing first stage a characteristic since the first working incarnation. Oh, how I remember the hard ONLY ROKOMAX as the biggest size of parts...

Then comes the scary part. The second stage is a BIT underpowered and using the skipper engines. I ditched that one early in favor for the 3rd stage with the Rhino engine. I got into a relatively stable orbit then burned for the Mun encounter. Then Insertion burn. That one took quite a CONSIDERABLE amount of fuel. Still enough for home. I hope. Bill (Engineer) and Jeb (Pilot) (See what I did there?) hoped onto the lander and deorbited. Now the trajectory was MORE that REALLY, REALLY BAD. Luckily we landed KINDA safely. I tipped over...

 

 

JUST KIDDING! I survived and got back up with a few burps and some gear magic I landed on the slope. I put down the flag and celebrated! Now It is still down there and I'll update that.

Congratulations.

Are your Kerbals still stuck on Mun?  Your recap leaves me slightly confused.  Regardless, sounds like you had a good time.
