Tylo Time Trial

[Pds314]

The goal of this challenge is simple, if not necessarily easy.
Start a new world (or use one at an early ingame date). Get a Kerbal to Tylo, land, and get them back to Kerbin by the soonest ingame date possible.

Rules:

1. No cheats. No reactionless thruster exploits (drain valve bug, ladder drives, Kraken drives, etc). Keep heating multipliers normal.
2. DLC is allowed. Parts mods are not.
3. You may do as many launches as you wish, for any purpose. ISRU is allowed.
4. No killing Kerbals or stranding them in space because that's mean.
5. Your score is based on the ingame date of your return. Not the mission time. Make sure to use ingame date and clarify Kerbin time vs Earth time.

Records:

1. EveMaster in the Tylo Express Year 1, day 410.

Does it have to be in career or can it be in sandbox?

It can be sandbox.

I managed to bring Jeb to the surface Tylo and back by Year 1, day 410.

I used two launches: one for trip to Tylo and one for the return vessel.

Wow that craft is impressively massive. And fast too. That final reentry is... scary though.
