What's the most science you've ever gotten from one mission?

[Magzimum]

My Jool-5 mission got me 26,387.7 points. All stock.

My favorite picture of that mission: 25 Kerbals on Pol.

And the Science points:

4865 for grinding Minmus (not sure that is a record [I've done similar in other career modes], but I did it Monday and took a screenshot so I have the exact value).

Of course, I also stored the data in triplicate so Minmus science bases can process the data well past the tech tree...  I'm pretty annoyed with the science grind ("for science" only helped so much in storing multiple data).

One rover, six biomes, 141km, three contract points, five game days:

1. Flyover Area K-9GJ to measure temp for contract
2. Land in Midlands
3. Drive downhill for 2 hrs straight
4. PLUMMET OFF CLIFF, misfire rockets, hit the flats at 50m/s,  four times.  Tumble to stop without a scratch somehow.
5. Power down for the night
6. PLUMMET OFF CLIFF, climb up from flats again
7. Grueling 4km climb, power down for the night, then PLUMMET OFF CLIFF (with rocket boost)
8. Ballistic landing on Greater Flats
9. Power down for the night, then 17m/s speedway along Greater Flats to Lesser Flats
10. Departure
11. Plane Change to overfly L1X80 for contract.  First ever Minmus spacewalk (to get data).
12. Return to station

 2150 science.  Plus maybe 500 more for all the mission reports transmitted enroute.

Just found this screenshot.  28082.9 science.

Basically, a Jool-5 type mission with lots of biomes.
