Real-life Munar Landing

A pretty simple challenge at first glance. Land on the Mun. But with a twist. You have to be in IVA.

Start from the Scenario "Mun Orbit". You are only allowed to use the IVA view (Jeb, Bob or Bill, you're free to choose) and the Map view (to represent mission control feeding you information on your orbit, etc.), but you may not open the navball whilst in Map view. All ship controls must be conducted from within the ship. For the majority of the flight, including touchdown, you must be in IVA. You must touchdown safely.

Challenge Completed

*None*

Here's my own attempt, just for fun:

I was going to post individual images, but a

link to the album of all the photos I haphazardly snapped on the way down seemed easier.

In the end, I ended up perhaps 100 or 50 metres away from accidentally touching down safely, but let my speed build up too high (from a steady descent at 4 m/s up to 23 m/s) because I though I was further from the surface than I was. Still, any landing you can walk away from?

Did it myself as well. There is one twist to our iva and real life. The real moon landings had teams of ground control feeding tracking information, calculations, etc. Just a moon landing isnt too bad with the ADI and ground radar. Also did it right from launch :3 I love IVA landings now.
