How did we land back on earth from the moon

939 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

Wouldn’t when we land on the moon, the earth would still be in motion bc of the orbit, and so whenever we exit the orbit of the moon (Which was orbiting the earth) the earth would still be in a constant orbit moving at high speeds, how did we calculate and intercept earth in said orbit.

I feel like you should probably go play some Kerbal Space Program. Definitely not 100% accurate to earth/moon physics but very precise with the same laws. It sounds like you have some misunderstandings about how orbital mechanics works and rather than trying to tease out what all those are from multiple back and forth questions, you can go play around with it yourself. Lemme know if you need some help paying for it.
