Can someone please tell me a good minmus rocket to send kerbals with science and return them

Some details on how to get there easily and how to land would go helpful.

Links to useful rockets will also be appreciated.

Hi @SAA, and welcome to the forums!

If you're looking for help and advice, I'd strongly recommend posting over in Gameplay Questions.  It's the perfect place for "How do I...?" type of questions.  ;)

That's where most of the folks-who-want-to-help-fellow-players tend to hang out, so it's a good place to get plenty of responses.

Out of curiosity, how far have you managed to get in the game so far?  For example, can you get to Kerbin orbit OK?  Have you orbited the Mun?  (Knowing how far you've gotten is helpful when tailoring advice for you.)

Great, that's excellent progress!  :)  (A lot of KSP players never even make it that far.)

Could you post a screenshot of, for example, your probe that got to Minmus orbit?  Preferably in the VAB, so we can see the whole rocket including booster stages.  (If we can see a picture of the rocket, then we can offer advice on improvements etc. to help get you where you need to go.)

Here's how to post a screenshot here in the forum, if you're not familiar with it:

WHICH ENGION IS BEST FOR REACHING MINMUS

There's no one "right" answer, as with so many things in KSP.  ;)

However, the Terrier is a pretty good upper-stage engine.  It's crappy and useless in atmosphere, so don't try to launch off the pad with it.  However, once you're in space (or, at least, higher than 10 km or so), then it's a great little engine-- fairly lightweight, and has an excellent Isp, which means it's very fuel efficient.

So, a small craft that can go to Minmus (for example, with a single kerbal in a Mk1 capsule) will typically launch off the pad using some combination of SRBs and/or a useful atmospheric engine like the Swivel, then use Terrier for upper stages.

A lot depends on your actual rocket design, however-- using the "right" engine is only part of the battle.  It really matters how the rocket is designed, what sort of stages are used, etc.  If you could post a photo of one of your more successful craft (for example, the one that put a probe in Minmus orbit), that would really help us to give you more useful advice, because then we could give you more specific feedback on how you could tweak it to do better.
