I finally managed to automate a Lunar mission regardless of the position of Luna with respect to Droo at time of launch. It will take off from Droo, establish a stable orbit, target Luna, wait to be in proper position and make it's way to Luna. Once it enters Luna's sphere of influence, it will establish lunar orbit, decrease the orbit, deploy the lander and enter a sequence that will safely land between 2 and 3 m/s. Aside from the Vizzy program, I'm most proud of the folding legs on the lander with integrated suspention.

@AviatorDominikYT Well if you weren't a complete moron it'd probably work just for me like it does for anyone who's not.

@LitmusAeroInc LOL At least the Land sequence works if nothing else.

I just used this and it target Luna but got caught in Brigo’s SOI and somehow landed perfectly on the planet😂

@SymmetryTechnologiesIncorporated I’m sure you can make it work. The activation groups and staging will need to match up. I have a stand alone landing program that is initiated with an AG once you’re in lunar orbit that will work.

Will it work if i copy the vizzy to my lunar lander?

@Frickman Did you have the time set in a warp mode during the decent? The rockets won't fire if you did.

@JustDatGuy For some reason if you increase the warp time, it occasionally misses the final burn. I'll dig in and adjust the program.

@mcbeijer Thanks! Yeah... I was so pleased with the functionality that I ended up neglecting some of the little details. I'll upload a revised version with more messages and better timing.

nicely done perhaps some more messages during the flight would be helpful (e.g. trans lunar injection, lunar orbit burn, landing sequence)
It lands and then explodes
