Luna sample return and planning future mission to tydos moon

i launched a sample return craft to luna from Ali pad today. it launched just over 240,000km from droo and landed somewhat near the luna poles. the idea is that the craft intentionally crashed into luna to grab a sample and then it flew back to droo with the sample pod that landed back near the desert. i have been carefully planning a tydos moon sample mission that would include 2 spacecraft. the current plan is that the return craft will wait in orbit around the selected moon and then the sample craft will land on the chosen moon and get a sample. the sample craft will then launch to orbit and dock with the return craft. then it will bring the sample back to droo and the capsule will seperate from the return craft and land in the desert.

its a very ambishous idea but i will try it
