15: Time for a trip
16: Delta V map of the solar system.
17: To the moon - To get 5660 m/s of delta V, a 10,000 kg spacecraft has a dry weight of only 1570 kg - - And that's just getting there. - - With the help of the third stage, we can now get 45% of our weight to the lunar surface.
18: Coming Home - A 10000 kg spacecraft can only weigh 83 kg to generate 14660 m/s - This is obvious a non-starter
19: NOVA
20: Lunar orbit rendezvous - LEM on descent was 54% fuel, about 2,500 m/s delta V - LEM on ascent was 50% fuel, about 2,000 m/s delta V
