    Well, this is my old thread from a long time ago.

     

    I am still fascinated with the idea of sending something to the moon. My latest idea is to use a high-altitude weather balloon as a launchpad for a small space sounding vehicle.

     

    In other words...

     

    Ascend to ~35km using weather balloon > launch vehicle into hohmann transfer orbit to the moon > retrorockets to slow the payload down before soft landing

     

    Doable?

     

    Cheers,

    Cody

     

    The same idea popped in my head today. Hence finding your post.
