"Veteran's" Mun Challenge

[Geeny]

The idea is quite simple:

Go to the Mun, come back, and land on KSC territory.

The catch? You must 'power land' and you can only use vanilla parts, and lander legs.

It shouldn\'t be too difficult, I\'m mostly just curious to see how many people are able to do it/have done it, so feel free to post without any 'evidence'.

I guess the 'evidence' should be two screenshots: one of the ship on the Mun, and the other of one on the ground.

More Specific:

KSC territory will be defined as that square of elevated land around it.

I carried a parachute all the way, but didn\'t use it. You should do the same, if you want to be a REAL man.

The lander does not need to survive. The crew, however, does.

I\'ll start

Edit: Oh, common! Why the lack of answers? At least tell me what\'s wrong with it...

Well, every single non-explosive mun landing EVER has been a power landing... there is no atmosphere, thus parachutes cannot work, and thus the only way to land is with some sort of power.

He means a powered landing back on Kerbin.

[Geeny]

He means a powered landing back on Kerbin.

Correct. Is there something wrong with it, though?

[Spoot Knight]

Other than the reply obviously telling us that the meaning of (Bold text):

Go to the Mun, come back, and land on KSC territory.

Was completely misinterpreted, no there\'s nothing wrong with it at all.

[Tim_Barrett]

Glide to the landing point, then detach with you capsule, an RCS tank, and enough rcs modules to simply hold your crew up. I\'ll do that later though, too lazy.

Since I can think outside the box, that means I can also think inside the chimney! can you think inside the chimney?

I didn\'t think so!

[JellyCubes]

A REAL Kerbal wouldn\'t bring a parachute along at all.

[Geeny]

I was thinking about the weight of it, not as insurance. Too lazy to do it again, lol.

[Causeless]

Ah, right, I understand now; I\'ve managed mockups, where I land and half of my ship explodes, but nothing really successful. The main problem is how big everything needs to be, which make handling a bit hard.

[Geeny]

Well, it\'s a challenge! I think two full fuel tanks will be enough to slow down and land (once your heading towards the ground), assuming you got your targeting perfect.

And you slow to a reasonable orbit....

[dashcunning]

On the Mun

Back at KSC

And the entire rocket on the pad

[Geeny]

Nice... I was getting all egotistical because nobody was doing it, lol. It takes skill to do it without a giant rocket.... And land right back on the launchpad.

[Geeny]

Only one person? I declare myself prince of Challenge forum!

[rebelcommando1807]

If you really want to make it hard..

No ASAS

No RCS

No fuel lines

No radially attached fuel tanks

No map

Can you, the challenge-maker, do that?

[Geeny]

O.O I cannot, I needs ALL the liquid fuel. But, my original challenge was still only answered by one person. I am still Prince of KSP.

Let\'s call this Level 2, and keep the original layout of the challenge as Level 1. So the question is, can you do it once, then do it again with less?

[Key of door]

I have an idea,

Use nothing to get to the mun and back, only the command pod, no SAS.

[Geeny]

Nothing but the command pod? So what, we wait until Kerbol expands and makes Kerbin and the Mun part of itself???

Yes.
