How to Reach the Moon in Approximately Up: Safe Plan

CURRENT TEST NEEDED

DIRECT ANSWER

Treat the Moon trip as three stages: navigate toward the Moon, leave enough distance to cancel your velocity, and land at the station to unlock the permanent checkpoint and garage. No universal speed or burn time is confirmed.

    Travel while preserving distance, power, and fuel for deceleration.

  3. 03

    Brake

    Cancel approach velocity before committing to the surface.

Why this page exists: A player can launch but needs to separate navigation, braking, and landing.

Why players overshoot

The official world model varies gravity and atmosphere by planet, while the community discussion shows that Moon navigation is a genuine stumbling block. A ship built only to accelerate can arrive with no practical stopping margin.

Use instruments to track direction and approach state, but do not copy an altitude, velocity, or burn duration from this page: the checked sources do not provide one current universal value.

What success unlocks

Landing at the station is more than touching the surface. The official description says the station becomes a permanent checkpoint and garage, making it the reliable progression target for a first visit.
