Remind me ….
How many gallons of fuel were used to go from the moon to Earth?
Also if there is no gravity on the moon - how did the ship and rover, land AND stay there while astronauts bounced around?
Serious questions.

There is some gravity on the moon, fwiw.
We didn’t went to the moon.
A few to get the lander off of the moon. A bit to execute a deorbital burn to leave the moons gravitational pull. The rest is just inertia.
The moon has gravity about 1/5 that of earth.
Moon’s got gravity, just weaker. That’s why the lander and rover stayed put while the astronauts bounced. 🚀 As for fuel—think thousands of gallons total, not “one tank to Earth.
So why could a spaceship land and stay there for photo ops? Help me understand.
I’d love to see a gravity experiment with a variety of dense subjects on a surface with same gravity.
This is your mathematical calculation?
A “few and a bit and some inertia? “
Love that idea! Imagine all sorts of dense objects falling together.
