Serial asparagus staging - easy tylo lander

[technion]

Hey guys,

When I went to Tylo last, I took a very difficult and complex rocket there due to how difficult this place is. I've got an improved design here. Presenting, "serial asparagus".

On the face of it, this is serial staged. A bottom stage, a top stage.

I hypedited it into a 50km Tylo orbit.

When the engines fire, you can see the radials from both the top and bottom stages firing. A fuel line keeps things sensible.

Dropping first stage, you can see we've applied a heap of dv to slow down.

Touchdown.

Lift off again.

Orbit re-established with stacks of dv left.

Honestly, in comparison to the eight stage, heavy and complex asparagus unit I originally landed with, this was dead easy.

I created this thread because there are a tonne of "How can I land on Tylo" threads. This rocket didn't even use its last stage, which has over 3k dv. And it was dead easy.

This just proves out that smaller is better when it comes to rocket design, which a lot of people often forget! Well done, anyway.

Now do it with a useful science payload.

@DerekL1963: Honestly, it doesn't need science payloads. Just a seat. The big science stuff can go down on another lander and be collected
