Ha, I'll have to wait a bit to do it again. The fisn-n ship designed by Elon Mollusk flies only once a year 
Back to the challenge!
Next destination: Mars, that I still haven't visited:
I should have attempted a slingshot with Saturn or Jupiter instead, because this transfer costed a lot...
After that moment I'll be honest, I made a lot of reloads, because I had so little fuel left that I couldn't afford any mistake.
After an aerobrake that lets me on a highly elliptical orbit, I can fly over Deimos and Phobos:
Then I can finally burn to get back to Earth. Problem, I also have to make a fly-by of the Moon! I manage to tweak my trajectory to get the Moon on my path, but the fly-by deviates my trajectory:
With 2% of fuel left, there's no way I can't fix my trajectory to get a reentry. I can reload again, or... deal with the situation!
I actually noticed that my new trajectory around the Sun was very close to a resonant orbit, so with a very small correction I encounter Earth again after 2 turns:
Finally:
In the end, with 2 engines I:
- landed on Mercury, Pluto, Charon, Hydra, Nix, Kerberos and Styx
- made a fly-by of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Saturn, Titan, Uranus, Titania, Neptune, Triton, Mars, Phobos, Deimos and the Moon.
