- Zambyte 2y agoFrom the article: > Energetically, it costs less to shoot your payload out of the Solar System (from a positive gravity assist with planets like Jupiter) than it does to shoot your payload into the Sun. This is kind of my point regarding the Moon. It's harder to hit the Moon than to miss it, so why aim for it?
