Dear log,
Today, I landed on the Mun, and then hopped back to Kerbin. It was surprisingly simple once they built a launch vehicle capable of actually
getting to the Mun and back.
First step was to just turn west after the launch, that put me into a nice ellipse that would carry me right through Mun's orbit. After my ship got captured by the Mun's gravity, all I had to do was plot a course that would put me right onto the back side of it.
After I had a good course, I burnt up the last of the main drive's fuel to decelerate.
Drop that module, and continue to the surface using the landing rocket.
Came in niiiiiice and easy... easy... eaaaaaasy... dang, too much lateral movement, and me without any RCS.
Well, I'm on the surface, and everything is still intact. I wonder... yep. Extending the landing gear popped the module right-side-up. Time for a munwalk!
OK, same plan as before. Take off, head East(?), hit orbit, transfer to Kerbin.
Meh, I'm tired. I'm going to just go straight in. Orbit Kerbin, degrade orbit, drop in and land (safely!)
Entry point calculated... and burn!
Deploy chute! Hope it holds up, those guys who pick these up on the side of the road aren't always the most reliable...
Hey, what do you know. It held together, and I didn't die on impact! And I'm only 20 km from the launchpad! Hope somebody invents the truck soon, or it'll be a looooong walk back.
