Just landed on Venus, WOOT!!

I thought this was not going to be my day, but here it is!! I'll post screens later (I only have the landing, and the ship blueprints, it was a fairly uneventful launch, and I thought this ship would end up as a Sun probe instead :p), my team is still receiving telemetry from the lander...

I lose nothing... but I do agree, I could've used my Heavy Lifter I or II to do the job, I had PLENTY of fuel left... So next up, I guess is building a true Venus rocket, one that'll blow payloads to Venus :p

Or try a Venus Return Mission

Congrats! But Danny and Blazer are right, you don't need such a heavy launcher for that. Try to alleviate it, and if you still have fuel left after that, then alleviate it again until you find the limit. You'll be surprised ;)
