My First Duna Lander Is Completely Broken in Modern KSP

KSP has seen a surge of new players after Artemis II, with places like the subreddit full of new players sharing their first orbits and moon landings. And it got me all nostalgic, so I revisited my 2014 screenshots folder and found my first successful Duna lander! So I decided to recreate the mission in 2026...and it turns out the craft holds up terribly.
