look up escape velocity, the whole point of it is that the object decelerates under gravity once it reaches it eventually coming to virtual rest
by the time it reaches the moon it will be matching its speed with rotation and orbit allowing for a very easy landing, that video shows the take off just pretend it's in reverse ;) odd that you don't see the moment of touch down though i admit, you'd think that would be the most important bit to include!
as for 17 missions 50 years ago they did 6 manned missions at the start but the unmanned have been spread out pretty evenly from then to now
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_the_Moonok - jump off a bridge and show me how you "decelerate" because of gravity......
the stupid things people believe is so contradictory
the air is moving with the spin of the earth to account for balloons going up
but if your in an airplane - the air is not moving with the spin of the earth
Things fall and accelerate because of gravity on Earth
but things decelerate everywhere else......
