Discounting that there was a previous Duna Apollo Style, that one's old so I can see scope for a new one. What is Apollo-style to you? You haven't yet defined what you expect. One launch? No asparagus? CM/LM architecture? Nor is there a scoring system. Right now it looks like "land on Duna", which is great, but pretty vague.

Well i didn't know much about Apollo 11 or any Apollo mission's plan...

But asparagus is allowed but you'd get more score on the end entry

(Also i forgot to add scoring but if you do the mission with asparagus then you get less of a score if you don't use asparagus you get more of a score, You need atleast 50-100 score to get a reward)

Also one launch gives more score, More than one launch gives less of a score.

Also bring a rover then you get an extra 10 score.

And CM/LM Architecture i don't know what that means exactly...

So hopefully that helps.

Personally under "Apollo style" I understand having separate return module and lander, leaving the return module in orbit and then the lander has to rendezvous with it and either dock or at least transfer the crew back to return module. Yes I also think you should post what you expect from "Apollo style" yourself.

If it's a "can you do it?" challenge then there should not be scoring. If you want to use scoring, you should mention that in your first post and also post scoring criteria so that people wanting to score high know what to go for. It's not much fun to do a challenge if it has unclear rules or they change on the fly.
