Munbound MK I -- Apollo Style Spacecraft

[Prof. Endwalker]

Hello! I am Professor Endwalker, and this is one of my many posts! If you have seen previous ones, and realized that I haven't posted in a while, is because of schoolwork, family stuff, and KSP crashing for like a month on my computer. BUT IT IS BACK, so here is my newest ship!

So this is the Munbound MK I, my 1st Apollo Style Spacecraft! It starts with 4 asparagus staged Mainsails, and continues on with an transfer stage, which is very efficient and compact. Anyways, lets launch!

The first pair on tanks have dropped, and we get to our gravity turn! I tilted over at about 14,000 meters and slowly prepared for our transfer!

After the first stage is dropped, I fire up the transfer stage, and head off to the Mun!

After getting into the Mun SOI, I adjust the orbit and set up a maneuver node.

The next part won't show many pictures, because it needed attention, but I moved some Kerbals into the lander, burnt retrograde, and landed.

"Thats one small step for Kerbal… and one giant leap, for Kerbalkind."

Jebediah Kerman, Earlier today.

Because I am an overachiever, I decided to bring a rover! You can see that Jebediah seems to enjoy it.

Now, the following is me getting into an orbit, and docking, so I DEFINITELY needed attention, so sorry for the lack of pictures.

And we are docked! Time to leave the lander, and go home!

After escaping the Mun's SOI, I burnt retrograde into the ground at apiopsis.

Yup. Seems like a safe trajectory.

I approach Kerbin, and wait until my speed is a little over 100 m/s, and release the parachutes! Thank you for watching my first post in a while, and I will see you when I see you!

A pretty good design, not a Saturn V ripoff. The back of that fuel tank on the CSM annoys me though.

You also misspelled definitely

That's a nice design! With a few parachutes on the lander it could easily do a Duna return.

I could never do a Duna return because A) I suck at interplanetary missions, and 2) with that little of fuel? I barely returned to orbit. So it could be used to return from Duna... In the hands of Scott Manley.

I can probably get it to Duna and back. Your rocket's pretty big for a Mun rocket.

In that case, MECHJEB is your best friend!

I know it means that your game won't be entirely stock, but it gives delta v info, phase angles, etc. And if you're lazy enough (Like me) you can get it to entirely autopilot into kerbin orbit, transfer to duna, circularize, and land with no manual input whatsoever.

What's the fun in having a robot do it all for you?
