So it can take off, and frankly get in to space.
A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).
The heavier it is the stronger the engine has to be. And the stronger the engine the more fuel will it burn. And the more fuel it burns the more fuel has to be carried in the rocket. And the more fuel the rocket has to lift the stronger the engine has to be.
One of the most advanced rocket engines is the Raptor engine developed by SpaceX. It is a full-flow staged combustion engine that uses liquid methane as fuel and liquid oxygen as oxidizer. The Raptor engine is designed to power the Starship spacecraft for missions to Mars and beyond.
To reach the moon, you would typically need to launch a spacecraft using a powerful rocket. The spacecraft would travel through space for about three days before entering the moon's orbit and landing on its surface. The spacecraft would then need to take off again and return to Earth.

rocket what? an engine?, need to know the year and engine size.

Launched by the Saturn 5 rocket (the largest rocket ever built), the first spacecraft to take men to the moon was the Apollo spacecraft.

In the rocket engine large amount of fuel are burnt. The burning fuel expands and is forces itself out the bottom of the rocket. As it pushes down, it pushes the rocket up. If the force pushing the rocket up exceeds its weight, the rocket will take off.
