> Do you have any idea how much closer the ISS is than the moon?? Distance isn't the factor. Useful payload to destination and required Delta V are. Leaving earth is 10 km/s. TLI is 4 km/s. | ||

Obligatory link to old reddit graphic https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/ekgm2g/i_made_a_delt... It does not have the ISS, but IIUC it's slightly over "Low Earth Orbit". (I'd love to see one where the distances are draw proportional to Delta V.) | ||
