Now how, pray-tell, does the shuttle get to the Moon? It barely has enough boost to get itself into a low orbit.

I have been wondering about the physics of this. It has engines, fuel (does it need in space refueling?).

Additional boosters would be a deal-killer.

Is it unable to achieve escape velocity?
