Minimalistic Mun Landers

[Tank Buddy]

I recently have been trying to create a minimalistic Mun lander, and with much success. Actually, I got it on the first try! What a rarity in KSP! I use a very simpy launch stage, w/ 4 large srbs, 2 LVT 30s, both onion staged to the core, 2 bi coupled LVT 45s. Next is a Trans-munar injection stage, with 2 radially mounted aerospikes. Finally, the lander sits on it's throne. I designed it to be space friendly, leaving no debris, so the munar injection stage collides with the Mun. I'll attempt to add the photos...

I would love to see other people's designs, so feel free to show them off!

Smallest practical design I could come up with. Drops all of its stages back down to Kerbin and the Mun.

Very nice, how does that LV-1 engine work out?

or the ridiculously small landers the guys have built in this thread:

Well, I'm trying to make it look like a real rocket, not using massive asparagus mainsails to lift stuff. My idea of minimalistic was not some little rinky-dink engine and a fuel tank to get you to wherever.
