How do I get this rover to the Mun?

[Rainbowtrout]

I need general info on landing asymmetrical rovers, such as this one. Also, building a lifter to get it into orbit. I know the basics of landing, and flying. Thanks!

(Sorry I didn't get the mass.)

Mass Relay. Who cares about aysmetrical weight when you have effectively a giant cannon?

But seriously... I'd put a 1.25m radial attachment point directly underneath the COM, mounting your launch stage under it... You could then have some 24-77's (or whatever) and fuel tanks mounted on decouplers on the sides of the rover, in line with the COM, for slowing down for the landing. Wheels have a very high crash tolerance, and you have a kerbal to repair the tyres, so you could easily land at 20m/s if you wanted.

Just so long as you get everything lined up with the COM, you can fly it like a normal rocket.

Also, I like the new Mudkip. Cute.

Ah, thanks! I forgot about the COM stuff, as I'm not so technical. Thanks.

With fuel-tanks as Bumper? real North Korean technology Absorbing shocks throu explosions, like a reactive plating.

Besides that, put a Docking Port to the upper Bump.. erm Fueltank and put this rover sideways on the rocket.

Actually, I'm sure that the British army uses reactive armour and it is quite effective. On a related note, you just need to slap a launch stage under the centre of mass and add a skycrane. (Yes, I noticed that Rainbowtrout has a North Korean flag. )

symmetry is irrelevant, if your booster is strong enough.

Simply load TWO of the same rover, in mirror positions.

*absolutely anything* will balance if you put two of them around the mass axis.
