Would it help to make the tank a little thinner?
<darsie>
I'd like to fly shallower/more efficient.

darsie, do you use MLI?

<darsie>
Mike`: yes, it's LH2.
<Mike`>
MLI tanks overheat easily. Try reducing the amount of MLI or put the mli tank within fairings if it's an upper stage.
<Mike`>
How much MLI do you have?
<darsie>
100
<darsie>
thx
<Mike`>
Oh, hehe, well, that explains it.
<darsie>
ok
<darsie>
LH2 just needs to last 3/4 LEO orbits.
<darsie>
But I'm already at the Moon, so it worked out this time.
<Mike`>
what did you do to make it work?
<darsie>
Forgot to transmit science from teh Moon. Do you think recovering it counts, too?
<darsie>
I launched steeper.
<darsie>
Like in the screenshot.
<Mike`>
k
<darsie>
Couldn't go shallower.
<darsie>
Contract says "Transmit science from the surface of the Moon; Recovery: transmit"
<darsie>
quite specific.
<darsie>
Oh my, I had such a beautiful landing.
<darsie>
Ok, I'll load the situation landed and transmit ...
<Mike`>
:)

I did most of the descent with stage 1 which couldn't be throttled and didn't have gimbal, but had RCS. Near the ground I veered off retrograde to cancel horizontal motion, switched to radial out, detached stage 1 and used stage 0 which had gimbal, throttleable, no RCS. Cancelled what was left of horizontal motion and did a very nice, controlled vertical landing.
