The legendary rocket that took brave kerbals to the Mun in the JNSQ version of the Kerbol system.

This second version adds reaction wheels to the Kickback boosters to help with the initial ascent, and Vernor thrusters on the command craft for simpler docking.

Launch, let SAS keep it steady, then go SAS Prograde at 90 to 100 m/s. The margins to get to orbit are tight! The munar transfer stage needs 1550 m/s dV to collide with the Mun. If you can do that, the service module can do the rest of the mission with dV to spare.

The lander should have enough to land, maybe do one close biome hop. The ascent module has just enough dV to reach orbit and rendezvous with the service module.

Both crafts have Experiment Storage Units. Use them to get extra copies of experiments and save a trip.
