1.

However, at 9,000 km altitude in "space", it is slightly less than 7.1 km/s), so it cannot be used to cislunar operations.
Current rockets that can achieve the required escape velocity for manned cislunar operations in NASA's inventory:
1. NONE (WALA, yes, NONE)
Maayo pa ang Russians...

mao gani nga dili ko katuo sa lunar landing kay ilang rockets palpak.
gawas pa ang escape velocity madaya nimo kung mo tuyoktuyok ka around sa earth before ka moescape.
pero and imong escape velocity will be the same speed when you reach the moon, maong niquestion ko sa perfect landing nila ni armstrong sa moon. judging from the escape velocity manga mu-mu jud unta ang mga astronauts inig abot sa landing sa moon.
