Race to the Mun

[samiamthelaw]

I've toyed with different high-delta-v designs in anticipation of new planets and moons to reach in 0.17. How quickly can you reach the Mun? We'll have two categories: crashes and landings. The leaderboards will simply be those with the lowest MET when they crash or land.

Rules

• Stock parts only (unless you find an amusing solution using mods)
  
• Post a screenshot of your rocket on the launchpad
  
• Post a screenshot of "Mission Complete" having crashed or landed on the Mun
  
• For crashes: no survival necessary, but the mission summary should state "XYZ crashed into the Mun"
  
• For landings: the crew must survive, but the rocket need not be capable of returning to Kerbin

Here's my personal best:

Quite speedy for a safe touchdown! Solid rocket boosters: is there anything they can't do?
