A Very Over-Optimized Moon Mission

Hello, it's Astro from the SFS discord server, here with an incredibly over-optimized moon rocket as my Team Titan entry.

The rocket is free version compatible and noclip. The first stage pushes the rocket mostly to orbit, the second stage finishes orbit with 30% fuel remaining.

The second stage performs most of the TLI, the lander stage finishes the burn and sets up a very close lunar encounter for maximum efficiency.

At periapsis, the lander slows until touchdown on the surface. Then it takes off to return to LLO.

Once in LLO, the lander fires up it's engine for the last time to return to Earth.

With plenty of fuel margin to spare, the capsule reenters the atmosphere and lands safely.

Thank you, and more crazy missions hopefully coming soon

Destruction of parts during reentry. :(
We also kinda need that mission log.

It was detached right after the SS. Unfortunately it looks like I did forget the mission log, doing another mission will not be a problem if I have to.

You can do the mission over (with more optimisation) or show the mission log from before if you have it.

33.25 tons to the Moon and back, that's a remarkable performance, congratulations :)
