[Stock] Mun Rocket with Lander

[kerbinoid]

I don\'t normally play with stock parts, but I was looking for a bit of fun and though I\'d try a minimal while still somewhat realistic mun rocket. When I say realistic, I mean it has to look like it wouldn\'t tear itself to pieces on ascent, even if it isn\'t in anyway aerodynamic with stock parts (Though that might change now that nova works for squad? Stock fairings anyone?).

I was actually surprised with what was possible. I thought I would need at least dozen tank and maybe six or seven engines. I managed to do it with nine full sized tanks, one half size tank, and four engines.

So without further ado, I give you my stock mun rocket.

Craft file attached.

looks good, You could add the Nose cone adapters and the nose on top of the fuel tanks, i find it makes the rocket look much better.

Great job!

Does it normally have enough fuel to return to Kerbin though?

nice one!

You betcha. Booster and bottom core stage are almost enough to achieve orbit @ 120km. The orbital stage get\'s me to the mun, into low munar orbit. Lander stage usually has fuel to spare to land, ascend, get into kerbin orbit, and even deorbit. You have to be precise with your burns though. If you mess up you have to restart the flight or doom your kerbals to a cold death.
