I mean, for fricks sake, we built a god damned disposable skyscraper with the first stage having double the thrust of the shuttle just to move something the size of a couple of telephone booths to the moon.
But yeah, we can get a 5 foot DIY rocket to do it. We gotz that smart phone tech.

If want to come back you will need more fuel. For a 5 foot vehicle to do this you will need something like anti matter.
Nah we got a Burt Gummer here that can pull it off with a few household chemicals mixed in the proper proportions.

That's what Andy Griffith did on the TV Salvage 1. He hired laid off NASA engineers after Apollo shut down. The body of the rocket was the tank off a cement truck. The fuel was unicorn tears, though.

I would like to apologize for my luna statements last night. I was randomly googling stuff about it.
Thinking clearly today I should have know that those numbers didnt make sense.

It takes quite a bit of fuel to overcome gravity and make it to orbit
You'll need additional fuel to break the earths orbit. Also, getting to the moon will require some directional control and proper timing of the launch. I guess you wouldn't care if it crashes once it gets to the moon or that adds additional control issues.
