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.
