Why is it that you can see the moon during daytime?
The moon takes about 28 days to rotate around the earth. And it takes 24 hours for the earth to rotate in the spot. At some point the moon is at the same side of the earth as the sun. and when the earth is facing the sun it is daytime. so when the moon is at the same side of the earth as the sun you can see it at daytime.

No because they could be going to the moon while it's in a different spot. Answer There are no "path" in space. I guess I agree with the above. You could still launch at the same time and just orbit the moon an extra half revolution before descending. There are man variables in how to get to the moon.
