Fly me to the Mun!

[deltaflyer_19]

Hello fellow Kerbins! Today's mission is to land on the surface of the Mun. Design ur launch vehicle so that u have enough fuel for Kerbin orbit, Trans-Munar insertion and powered descent. Ur payload must include: a sturdy lander with a descent engine (with enough fuel of course), a rover component for trekking on the munar surface, and the most important part of all: AN ASCENT STAGE, so can head home! Don't 4get ur parachutes!!! U may use MechJeb 4 this mission. After liftoff, fly on a heading of 270* or 90*. Once u reach orbit, time ur escape burn carefully! Hint: if u see the Mun rise (heading 90*) or set behind Kerbin (heading 270*), those r ur escape burn windows! To avoid overshooting the Mun, set ur apoapsis to 11,800,000-12,000,000 meters. Make sure u r able to enter munar orbit because u need to land on those big, flat lava plains. That will be ur landing site. Use ur orbital map as referance. If u land on the lava plains, ur mission will be deemed a success. Deploy ur rover and have fun driving; safe ground speed is no more than 3 or 4 m/s. Head home when ur ready, I recommend flying retrograde (270*) so u can escape the Mun quickly. Aim 4 Kerbin, reenter and land. Flight time can't exceed 3 days.

I land on the Mun and Minmus on a daily basis and do things wackier than just some rovers...

A good challenge for new people in the KSP community though Are there special "ranks" for people who do crazy things in their landing?

Pff... I did this seven times. In one mission. Then I punched Chuck Norris in the face because I don't take back talk.

In all seriousness, I like this mission. It requires a basic knowledge of game mechanics with reachable criteria and a precise landing. It also requires the ability to make somewhat complex rockets (mainly because of the rover) and still have a working function. Bravo delta.

3 days? i think u can make it in 1

Uh. Is this a troll post?

Uhhh yeah, this is how deltaflyer_19 types, we can't all be rocket scientists you know fellas.
