The best thing is…no protestor can monkey-wrench it.Now this may sound irresponsible…but let me throw this out there.Say a Moon-bound Starship opens its maw and just releases a big roll of steel at a mountain summit.That steel stops and rolls down…and part of the summit is—perhaps—knocked into orbit.The Starship just swings past…and a waiting craft in orbit captures the biggest hunk.Might that get more mass off the Moon than trying to launch it?Can’t hurt a lump of steel…no braking needed.The summit?Just a few thruster puffs to wrangle it.Messy though.

Say a Moon-bound Starship opens its maw and just releases a big roll of steel at a mountain summit.
That steel stops and rolls down…and part of the summit is—perhaps—knocked into orbit.
The Starship just swings past…and a waiting craft in orbit captures the biggest hunk.
Might that get more mass off the Moon than trying to launch it?
Can’t hurt a lump of steel…no braking needed.
The summit?
Just a few thruster puffs to wrangle it.
Messy though.
