    Before I could even get a qualified run for my SRB river kile run, Brad goes and does this. Stunning work as always! I was actually surprised to see that this could manage the return trip too, but I see that the Mun gravity assist and Minmus wheel braking helped a lot with that.
    ... Now I need to get back to work...

      The initial thrust limits are the biggest issue. Otherwise, the ISP is very similar to SRBs. You could probably get almost anywhere using the "refueling tug to Minmus" approach used in the Minimal Bill Eve Lander. Eve and Tylo are probably no-gos though, just for reasons of physics. I would be happy to be proven wrong though.

    That Minmus landing! *chef's kiss* I can understand it needing a literal metric ton of reaction wheels. On large semi-realistic builds, I'm starting to rely on RCS instead of reaction wheels because if you don't clip the wheels together, they just take up too much space, requiring large heavy cargo bays in spaceplanes. But I suppose I could clip several together and just say they're heavier wheels, couldn't I?
    Edit! The Kerbin gliding was wonderful too! :D
