 Yah. The question is then if it will be for our brave men and women we send up or if it will be mounted on something.

We could give our astronauts missile launchers, capitalising on our new superior infrared homing technology.

Missile launchers don't walk themselves around the moon.

Another suggestion: we could stick an autocannon on their capsule.

No, just have another cannon on the other side shooting at the same rate  ;)

And here is the weapon I was talking about

We can't actually get to the moon now though.

Maybe we should upgrade our booster? Or figure out a good powersource?

I'd support improving the propellant on the Type 3000, but that could be done in a revision phase.

I dunno, if you've read the history of liquid fuel development, that would totally be a few design phases.

Hehe, if you ever chance upon a copy of "Ignition!", it's a great read.
