So this design was sort of an improvement with some real deficiencies remaining. The raw power of 6 massive SRBs will get you to space but are a huge waste at the same time - you're fighting the air most of the way up! I took their exact design and did a few staging and piloting tweaks to get there and back with a reasonable amount of fuel... and then decided to do a little bonus mission based on an offhand comment in the video!
BONUS MISSION TIME!
During the video they happened to spot a distant moon on the map screen and commented 'we're never seeing that in this series'... so let's go see it!
