Aldrin Munar Lander

[Tex]

Behold, my fellow Kerbonauts... the Aldrin Munar Lander! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=172245294

This is only my second successful Munar Lander (the first, the Armstrong Munar Lander, was very unfortunately destroyed as i tried to correct its landing position to get a better screenshot of it ), and I named it such to honor Apollo 11 and all the prior missions that made it possible.

The Aldrin ML is actually a modified Armstrong ML with a very slightly increased fuel capacity, and I modified it because when the Armstrong landed, it had only ~10 units of liquid fuel out of 400 or such, so I added the upper two tanks to slightly dampen my extreme landing anxiety (it is REALLY scary to land the first few landers especially after most of them have crashed, right?)

So, what do y'all think?

nice lander. I would recommend the larger lander legs, they are tougher and as such can take a bigger hit. as an example, my munar lander

I never have any luck with the larger rockets, I usually have to stick with the good old 1.25m size rockets, like my crowning achievement, called the Daedalus Launch Vehicle http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=172251170

I use it to carry various small payloads, like the Aldrin, as well as a test probe and several capsules doing various things. It actually has pretty good orbital capabilities, I haven't stretched it to the limit yet, but I'm fairly certain that it can reach a close planet with ease. It's performed admirably so far

What is the point of the RCS if there are no docking ports?

he has a docking port at the very top of the capsule, it looks like a clamp-o-tron jr if I am not mistaken
