Here's mine.

My rocket in the VAB. Ended up costing 12,815



On the launch pad



Solid rocket boosters gone.



Burning the last of the fuel in the second stage trying to get in orbit



Second stage gone. The lander will take us the rest of the way (hopefully)



Lander was able to finish getting us in orbit around Kerbin



Our planned burn to the Mun



Cool shot of Kerbin's deserts before I did the maneuver



And we're off



Got an encounter



Dark side of the Mun. About to burn retrograde and into a stable orbit



In a stable orbit, then I gently brought the craft down out of orbit. Descending here.



Just another picture I wanted to take without the nodes.



Coming down fast. Burning a lot of fuel



Slowing down



Landing gear is down



Can see the lander's shadow now



And touch down. Had just enough fuel to land safely.



Got Jeb out of the shuttle to plant the flag. He seems excited.



Fin. Would like to do another one sometime guys
