Need a early career mun landing and return capable rocket.

Title says it, would perfer manned rocket, but unmmaned is fine, i just need to get some good science, and i cant find any decently science on kerbin anymore, and can figure out how to build a decent mun landing and return rocket. I cant even seem to make it to the moon.

So far i have researched:

Advanced Rocketry

General Construction

Flight Control

Science tech

(And anything before these techs)

and electrics

Need a easy to understand picture, or a download would be nice

Lemme see what I can whip up. I'll make something, then explain all the parts so you can make your own. I wouldn't want to make it too easy...

Thats fine, its just ive spent weeks trying to figure out how to make one myself, and have always failed.

I am just looking for a general design that will get me to the mun and back.

Look a bit further down the board, and you'll find a thread I started for career starter ships.

Behold! A Mun rocket! The R-7 Voskhod Luna-tik!

Asparagus Staged, the exterior boosters all drain to the centre. It doesn't need you to research launch clamps, only fuel lines, The upper stage is enough to take you to the mun and even begin landing, and the final stage is extremely overpowered for a lander/ return craft but you must have half the fuel in the lander when landed or you are not going home!

Also don't dare put heavy sciency garbage on it or you will fail, this is for sample return only,

Instead swap out the payload for a probe and downgrade it by removing 1 fuel tank from the radial boosters and getting rid of asparagus staging and you will be able to send a probe with this lesser version

Oh yeah (EDIT) it's also able to go to minmus
