I just wonder if it would be possible to make a vehicle that could directly land on the Moon and then take off from it. If there was a runaway could something like an airplane land on it/ take off?
In that case I hope Milner leaves a thorough will ensuring that his estate keeps supporting science if he crashes into the moon
An Airplane won't do much good, no atmosphere worth mentioning. Also, having to stop at all and then having to carry the fuel to accelerate back to earth makes a huge difference vs. just slingshotting around the moon at full speed. Even Apollo kept the main craft in orbit.
