Well Gemini 6A and 7 didn't dock. They maneuvered within 10 feet of each other. The first real docking by NASA was another Gemini with the Agena target vehicle.-Deepspacecreeper (talk) 00:09, 19 November 2014 (CST)

I tried the original design, and when I tried to use the parachutes, the lander can fell off and the crew died. Even after the alteration, the RCS tank will still fall off, but that isn't a big deal. Also, for the launcher, add two stacks of two Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tanks with a Mainsail directly connected to the first stage, with struts for stability. As for the second stage, either cut it down to one fuel tank or change the Skipper to a Mainsail. Other than that, the maneuvers you need to do are correct, even though I had to use MechJeb to dock.
