Because sending Apollo to the Moon twice just wasn't enough apparently.
You requested it, it's your fault this monstrosity exists. It's Apollo Cubed.

Disclaimer:

"Ignore max temperature" was used during the video. When quickloading while the craft is enormous, several parts will briefly heat up beyond melting temperature, then cool again. Spaceplane-rated procedural wings were used for re-entry, but are only made for LEO re-entries - no config exists for lunar-return wings. The 300 meter heatshield does not appear to scale ablator amounts very well, and was unusually light.

Most of the mods can be found through the installation guide:
