Not to be a dream killer, but Kerbol's sphere of influence is infinite. Even with hacks or mods, it would take 68 years to reach the Kerbol escape.

Just as well My Voyager is orbiting Kerbol from As far as Eeloo to as close as Moho. It sometimes Mingles with Eve and Jool... Occasionally Kerbin.

Finished mod-using STS

I created a modified LV-909 part with 275 thrust, here is the download for it:https://www./folder/bfk38rpyntwuh/MainShuttleEngines

weighs about 175 tons,

and I believe it is around 140 parts

Start the launch with 100% thrust, and at about 300 meters slow down to 25% thrust.

Then as the shuttle tilts back due to the mass decreasing in the SRB's, counter it and to a controll pull to about 45* with more throttle, 60% say

Then, as the SRBs are close to running out, full throttle, then decouple them, should be easier as you go:)

1-open bay doors

2-activate air brakes

Mods used:

B9 aerospace

AIES aerospace

Procedural wing

KWrocketery

Ferram Aerospace Research

Remote tech(which can easily be removed, clipped inside the back of the bay is a short range antenna

The Mighty Saturn V. I doubt there is much else that is as close to the real thing as mine is.

It stands 381 feet tall. (The real one is 363 feet tall, but mine doesn't have payload fairings for the LEM, so it's a bit longer).

All the stages do exactly what the stages for the Saturn do.

First Stage - Just gets it off the pad and about a mile high.

Second Stage - On a Suborbital Trajectory (Peak at about 115,000 M)

Third Stage - To Boost into Orbit - then to go to the Mun. If used wisely, this can also even do BETTER than the Saturn V and burn into lunar orbit. A job normally used for the Command Module. (I think).

The Saturn Launch Vehicle 1st and second stage are entirely Nova Punch.

The Third stage and upward is a eccentric mix of stock and KW Rocketry, with a bit of misc. addons here and there including a custom launch escape tower, and mission patches you can put on the side of your craft.

This baby always flies. It isn't too unstable, and it makes you go wow every time.

To top it all off, my LEM has every detail to the last. Including an ascent stage, and capability to carry a rover.

No Mun mission would be complete without a NASA-style Lunar Orbit Rendezvous.

Thanks Everyone :D I've been on a quest to downscale my LEM and make it more to scale :D (close as I can get with the Kerbals still being able to EVA)

I had to do the same thing with Munbug, the old lander was waaaaaay too big.

Nice designs! Although, I am trying to get a 1:1 scale Saturn V version to work on my RSS game, and it lags like hell, then I start up the engines and the game just frezes. 1 frame per half an hour. I may want to go for something smaller. It seems that even with Kerbal Joint Reinforcement, KSP does NOT like 10m wide parts.
