Duna Explorer Mission

[Oradon]

After every KSP update, I start a new career mode game. Currently I've built and flown my Duna Explorer mission.  The ship below was built and launched to orbit over 3+ launches. Not shown is the unmanned refueling vessel and the crew transport vessel. 

This trip took 7 Kerbals to Duna. Left 3 in the science lab in orbit around Duna for science! Landed on Ike as well. And returned to Kerbin orbit, ready to refuel and go on the next mission.

Wondering if I could take this to Jool.

OOO! Nice ship you have there! 

Why the wings? The wings I sorta understand, but why flaps? Is it meant to fly? Or maybe to help with heat management? I like the modular design so it can be reused! I also like the idea of nukes on a lander! With an isru pod and a tylo decent stage, I bet you could do a Jool 5 with that! (Also maybe some drop tanks.) 

Overall I really like the design! Can't wait to see where it goes next!

Thanks! Wings are just for looks and to bump the engines out.  Haha. And I used the nuke engines so I can just have all liquid fuel and not need oxidizer. It should have plenty for a Jool mission. That will be next.

Wow. Do I see the mk3 cockpit? That is pretty darn creative! Nice job!

Thanks! Been playing KSP for a few years now and it is still my favorite game! Hope to post more.
