Excellent video there, The music suited it so well, especially the final 10sec\'s,love the lander design BTW.

It would be useful for newbies to have a bunch of stock craft collected somewhere. I believe it was suggested in the Spacecraft Exchange a while back but few liked the idea. It might be worth proposing again.

Nice video, especially the music. First rate.

Hope you don\'t mind...

I took the liberty to change your fuel-lines and initial staging, so instead of dropping the first 6 liquid-boosters in two stages of 3, they are dropped in three stages of 2. (I tried extending the logic to drop one at a time, but the craft becomes too unbalanced for control.)

For comparison, I used MechJeb to get the craft to an apoapsis of 70km. Not totally scientific, but illustrative. I found the new arrangement ('Mk6-k') to still have ~1.0 FL-T500 in the core booster; Mk6 had ~0.8 FL-T500. (If that seems wrong to you, please let me know. The ascent may not have been optimal; however, I hope with MechJeb that they were equivalent).

However, by saving ~0.2 FL-T500, it did take over 10 minutes to get to 70km and circularize, a few more minutes than mk6.

Thanks heaps for the craft! It just completed another Munar mission and returned safely to Kerbin (0.14.4, just downloaded a couple of hours ago).

Neat, I made it into orbit, now to figure out how to make my orbit meet the Mun...

Maybe I\'ll watch it go around a few times and wait for the right moment.
