Sent a testicular probe to the moon and back. Pretty sure I did this correctly. Went for the simplest possible parking orbit and lunar SOI entry orbit because I’m just lazy.

The 5th image shows that a Valiant is destroyed, probably because of impact on the Moon. The Instructions stated that nothing must be damaged except dumped stages. This will not qualify.

I suggest that you retry this mission by adding landing legs to the Lander, so engines or other parts won't be damaged.

And, don't forget quicksaves! Create a quicksave every time you do something important (e.g. lunar injection burn, landing, etc.), so if something is damaged or not going to plan, you could rewind time and fix things so it'll be successful.

Those aside, I like that trajectory shooting upwards with the Moon on a correct position, so you'd get an encounter easily.

You broke one valiant while on landin, you need to redo the mission without breakin anythin. But hey that's direct moon approach:p

Alright, so, it looks like the valiant got destroyed, so it is disqualified basically.

Alright, after a day’s worth of slamming my head against a brick wall because my small, smooth, concave pea brain can’t comprehend a “100% successful mission” that doesn’t involve slowing to a complete half due to a collision “for the funny” and because it’s occasionally more fuel efficient with some designs, I’ve made it to the moon and back with the spherical probe without screwing up this time.
