When attempting to orbit try to burn in the direction of travel (prograde) at the apoapsis to maximise efficiency and try to keep your earth apoapsis at around 30 to 35km to save fuel on normal mode. The rocket you built here has ample delta-V to reach the moon and back so the design is good, I would strap like 2 rcs thrusters on it though to make landing slightly easier. When you get an encounter with the moon try to get the periapsis to be fairly low, at around 20 or 30km to get a slightly more efficient burn, and always burn opposite of the direction of travel (retrograde) at the periapsis to slow yourself down and achieve a low moon orbit before landing, what you did in the video is you accelerated towards the moon and gained velocity instead of trying to remove it, which is why you crashed. Also when preparing for re entry to Earth keep your periapsis at around 10km to slow yourself down via aerobraking without burning up.

pay attention to ur velocity. it was at 2,000m/s thats way too fast. u need to slow down way way before. dont rush and dont time warp. burn retrograde to slow urself to like 50 m/s land at like 5-10 m/s

So your telling me I could get to mars without DLC but a person with it can’t get to the moon?
