Moon Darts

Moon darts is a game that is played between two wealthy space exploration enthusiasts. The goal is to launch your darts, (that is, your lunar landers), at craters on the surface of the Moon in waves of three. The diameter of a crater determines its point value. Once it's established that the lander has made a safe landing, it is ordered to take off and return home. If the lander can't be retrieved, then it doesn't score any points. Once you've retrieved your darts, you get to go to the bar and have a drink with your crew, intermittently inebriating yourself just as you would if you were playing terrestrial darts. The first team to reduce its score to zero wins a token prize.

The goal of this exercise is to provide a fun way to develop the technology for routine manned missions to the Moon. Humans just love to gawk at silicate deposits, and we evidently don't have enough of those here on Earth.
