Here it is. Done. Auto launch and orbit, then you're on Your own.
this Rocket is based on the N1 designed by @Hashys.
If flown carefully and methodically, this craft is capable of missions to Luna and back.
Use the 4th stage engines to take you all the way to luna and orbital insertion.
The LK lander section is the star of the show and as such holds the command chip, However, use the 7K craft for docking and orbital burns. Simply swap with the viroz capsule. Use the retro pack at the rear of the LK lander for luna de-orbit burns only! It's effective but pokey. Start from an orbit of about 40km and slow just enough (350 m/s) to de-orbit slow to around 100m/s before jettison and start-up of main landing engines. (at around 8km altitude)
The 7K has plenty of delta V for the mission but is slow so, pack a lunch.
Have fun!
Edit: I found that converting the 1st 2nd and 3rd stage engines to KEROLOX, there is a significant improvement in performance. it's a tedious process, i know, with so many engines but give it a try.
