You could also use a rotating space habitat to catch cargo pods shot from the moon and use or redirect them. I believe you can balance your rotation speed and orbit velocity by catching cargo pods on different positions in the orbit around earth and on what side of the space habitat you catch it. Basically making it a giant battery of rotational energy that can throw pods without needing chemical energy.
