Just got to the Mun for the first time!

[szpw]

I finally managed to get to the Mun for the first time! I used the NovaPunch pack and stock parts. I also used the NovaPunch lander (I believe it\'s called the Thor Lander, or something like that)

Slowing the lander with RCS

Landed in a relatively flat area of the Mun. YES!

The ascent. I managed to screw up the burn I had to do to get back to Kerbin, so the astronauts are stuck in a strange elliptical orbit with no fuel.

Next stop is Minmus!

Good job!

good job,yours was much cleaner than my first landing. ;D

Good job

The cool thing about your first landing is that it\'s persistent, so you will be able to keep that descent stage as your 'Apollo 11' site, which you could choose to revisit with a future mission.

minmus is fun to land on as there isnt as much gravity as there is on the mun, its just getting there can be a bit of an arse if your not entirely sure (ive been several times an i still dnt think im doin it efficiently)

EDIT: its also probably worth mentioning that the thor lander can be rigged to use the odin pod, this will make running out of fuel when you did a thing of the past
