I'm pretty sure it's because I have that very non-aerodynamic bit up at the top with the batteries and scientific stuff. You have a whole lot of thrust in the back end of the rocket countered by drag at the front end and it wants to flip the thing around. One of the upcoming tech nodes, I forget which one, has some fairing parts that will help with that.

And a Münar mapping mission is probably a good idea, if we can haul enough batteries over there. We'll be able to pick out a landing spot and properly plan a landing mission.
