First Mun Landings

[SamTheShark]

I am relatively new to the game, and after logging in about 40 hours, I have finally managed to land on the mun!  It was especially hard because it was a dark side landing and I only had 6 lights to keep me for destroying all my (un-quicksaved) work. And without further ado, here are some of the screenshots that I took. I would also like to see any first mun landing post that you may have

Congrats. Your first Mun landing is the game's biggest and most satisfying milestone.  

Since you asked, here's mine. 

(It was a long time ago.)

good job! once you master landing on the mun you can land anywhere even ( with practice) eve. congrats!

[SamTheShark]

Thanks, everyone for the encouragement. I'm still a noob, so a long way to go before Minmus!

Welcome to the forum, @SamTheShark.  Congratulations on your first landing.

The good news is that a vessel that can land and return from the moon is more than capable of doing the same on Minmus.

Interesting, @James Kerman, I'll have to try that. I'll update once I try it!

My first Mun landing was long ago. Not as long ago as @Vanamonde's but long enough that I don't have any pictures. If I even took any which I suspect I did not.

I still remember it though. It was in the demo and completing my Kerbin landing when done was the personal milestone I wanted to reach before deciding if the game was worth it.

Nice video @5thHorseman  And I am happy to report that my rocket can and did reach Minmus!

At least you're better than past me, i was really frustrated just to get to orbit.

Turns out...

Spoiler

I forgot to use SAS and still think that a mere vertical ignition gives orbit.

First Mun rocket was so stupidly larger than my current Duna Rocket, close to my Tylo rocket (which has traces of my old Mun rocket in its design), i deleted my 1.0.4, where my first Mun landing was, by the way...Welcome to this forum !!!
