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.

MOON FLIGHT / EDITORIAL
Accelerate, transfer, brake, land.
A planning diagram derived from the official station loop; it is not a tested trajectory.
- 01
Point
Establish a stable target direction before adding speed.
- 02
Transfer
Travel while preserving room and fuel for deceleration.
- 03
Brake
Cancel approach velocity before the surface fills the view.
- 04
Land
Finish at the station to unlock its checkpoint and garage.

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.
