In full career mode I was able to land but was always a couple seconds short of fuel for return. So instead of trying to balance that I decided to make it harder.
Without an upgrade I was limited on parts, like single person capsules. To land 3 Kerbanauts meant at least 2 extra tons of equipment! Fuck it:
6.5 ton lander to the moon and back on nothing but the first 1/3 of parts available in the game. However using the MechJeb mod for calculations was pretty necessary as there was no room for error.
Speaking of no room for error I was still 5 seconds short of fuel. So I used RCS thrusters to make up the additional delta v necessary to splash down.
Some Munar antics:
TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!
That said upon return I used my new money to upgrade R&D and now have all the parts that would have made this easy...
