Yeah, Those rules need to tightened up considerably. Any Heli could
do it. I suspect he means "in an airless environment". But let's not
tell him. He leaves it that way, somone will be instantly rich as
soon

Still doesn't seem too difficult. NASA already has all the pieces.
I imagine there's a "trip to the moon" clause in there somewhere...

The only problem is: $$$$$$$. The cost to launch a Saturn V in 1969 was
$500M, not including the spacecraft and lander. Figure out the increase,
due to inflation and the R&D even to duplicate one today.
