After having lost a dozen brave Kerbal souls to the whims of Munar rotation, terrain, and gravity, the KSC's Jerley, Calbles, and Kelbin Kermin have used all-new technology and fresh parts to land their craft intact on the far side, skidding a few meters as they set down on a slope perhaps steeper than they anticipated.
In this artist's rendering (they aren't equipped for an EVA), you can see the non-articulated lander legs, three-windowed command pod, RCS array, and compact fuel tank of the third stage of their rocket. Hidden beneath a shroud is the diminutive landing engine, which will provide sufficient thrust to return them to orbit in a few days time, after which we expect a triumphant return to Kerbin and the Space Center.
None of the three has plans to retire, and are hoping to one day visit Minmus together, after current research produces working extra-vehicular gear.
