06. How fast can we get to the Moon? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Right now, a spaceship has to travel at a minimum of about 25,000 mph to get to the Moon. To go faster, we would only need more fuel. But when we get closer to the Moon and are ready to orbit it, we will have to use a lot more fuel to slow us down so that we don't crash into the Moon.
