Editor note

The player is tasked with collecting and compressing air by altering density, temperature, and volume with various lab equipment. If the player can store enough Delta-V energy in compressed air, it can be used to thrust a rocket to a trip to the Moon.

For the nitpickers out there, yes it is realistic to hit the Moon with a craft propelled by compressed air. However, carrying a payload (scientific interments or person), landing safely, or returning to earth, is not so realistic.
