Just looking for a simple Mun Rocket and lander

Got a pretty good feeling I have posted this in the wrong place but if someone could either link me or point me into a direction of a NOOB mun rocket I have had little to no success with my current designs. Thanks in advance

Mun rockets are not very hard to make. First you need a tug that can get you into space. Second a stage that can transfer you to the muns sphere of influence and also land (witch is not very hard), then be able to get you back into orbit back home (witch takes a lot less delta-V then you mite expect) don't forget to put a parachute on that sucker so you don't hit the ground at mach 2. That's about all there is to a mun rocket

Mun Rockets are really easy.

The first thing you need to do is to get into orbit, a basic launcher can do this.

The second thing you need is a transfer stage, again quite easy, just put a fuel tank and a rocket on top of the previous stage. The final thing you'll need is a descent/landing stage, this is simply a tiny rocket with legs. Usually, if you play right, leave no fuel behind, this kind of set-up will get you to mun and back.

And if you are up for a small challenge, take my Pegasus Rocket for a spin (requires KW Rocketry), Burns to orbit and TMI with a Free Return Trajectory in two long stages, Once the TMI is finished, the crew readies for pyro arm and docking of the CSM with the MEM (Munar Excursion Module). Once capture is complete, the MEM is pulled from the second stage, second stage fires retro for a crash into the side of the Mun. Just like the Apollo missions :D
