Why don't we shoot rocket directly to the moon?

Question

If they do, plz provide full detail.

Answer 1

hmmm, you mean look up into the sky, aim the rocket at the moon and fire?

if so, then we would miss it. ever fire a gun at a moving target? you have to aim ahead of it.

plus we don't want to actually hit the moon, instead we want to orbit around it. so we aim carefully to put the craft into orbit around the moon instead of just aiming right at the moon.

Answer 2

First off, it would cost millions of dollars just for the fuel for the rocket, not including the actual rocket. Then if we did shoot it directly into the moon it would crash and explode. Just because there is less gravity doesn't mean its not there.

Answer 3

to shoot a rocket directly to moon we need energy than usual and it is tougher to reach to target that way because gravity acts on the rocket

Answer 4

We cannot since moon is not stationary and is moving. Also, the energy needed is much more than if we choose a curved path using the gravitational attraction etc.

Answer 5

Because Rockets are not bullets.. A rocket has to carry it's fuel or energy with it..

Answer 6

we can launch a rocket directly to moon with a help of a superconductors. but its very tough to produce a superconductor &it is expensive

Answer 7

You sound like Jim Carey from Dumb and Dumber. We have. In 1969. And it's posted on the wall of that bar.
