Well let's investigate. Thrust to weight ratio > 1. Air resistance lowering on a curve as you increase altitude, not ignoring dynamic pressure for a given speed and altitude plus weather conditions. Again, calculus is your friend. Next you tell me you can't make a glider with a sheet of paper and tape a bottle rocket to it.

to leave the moon and return to earth . . . .
you write

OK. I think it's becoming clear here.

OTOH, the moon has only 1/6 of the gravity of Earth, so "huge rocket" isn't needed.
