By Request:
This rocket will deliver the attached buggy to either LUNA or BRIGO. It will make it to TT as well, though I don't advise it.
Launch and pitch 10%
After staging at 100% throttle slowly pitch to 45% and monitor TWR.
The suspension seems to fail at high G maneuvers, so keeping TWR below 3 (near 2.5) is prudent.
You need the third stage for landing. so try and be efficient with DV. I suppose the lander could land on it's own, but it's underpowered for the event.
Somewhere near 1000km you should have your surface speed zeroed, then detach the fourth stage for landing (destroying the third stage as it falls below you).
After landing, decrease Docking Port magnets to Zero, then decouple. You'll need to "Buck" the Buggy off of the Docking port by using both thrust and pitch to tilt in one direction (be careful not to pitch too far!)
I suggest saving at Low Droo Orbit and Low Munar Orbit before testing TWR limits with the rover wheels.
