translunar

You could have an electric or nuclear translunar architecture using oxygen, harvested from the Moon, as reaction mass.

A Shift in Policy? Moon Base Axed? - NASA Watch 2009

We don't already have translunar manned transport capability (to the surface), and getting it will cost many, many tens of billions more than a sufficiently dexterous RC bot.

Why the Moon? Here's Why. - NASA Watch 2009

The whole lunar mining scheme, no matter what you're bringing down, requires a whole translunar infrastructure going _both ways_.

Furthermore, an all robotic base means that the translunar infrastructure is much cheaper.

And if we could build sustainable translunar infrastructure, than we would find ourselves in a situation where colonizing the Moon wouldn't be that silly.

NASA could then buy [our] services if it needed them, or otherwise utilize [our] translunar transportation systems to achieve its own goals.

Into the early afternoon, Armstrong monitored the progress of the flight, through its two Earth orbits, through its translunar injection, and well on its way toward the Moon.

Apollo 10 achieved a number of space firsts, including the first CSM-LM operations in the cislunar and lunar environment, the first CSM-LM docking in translunar trajectory, the first LM undocking in lunar orbit, the first LM staging in lunar orbit, and the first manned LM-CSM docking in lunar orbit.

In the patois of spaceflight, TLI meant “translunar injection”—leaving Earth orbit and heading into deep space.
