the same thing an astranaut uses.

Me? I use my T.I.E. fighter, but most astronauts use a moon orbiter - a small capsule attach to a huge rocket that gets them into space and near the moon. The orbiter has small jets to control where it goes in orbit. In some of the missions there has been a lander that separated from the orbiter and allowed astronauts to walk on the moon, then rejoin the orbiter for the trip home. Note: The Lunar orbiters have all been 1 time use vehicles and the Space Shuttle was never designed as a lunar orbiter, but as an Earth Orbiter, a freight truck between earth surface and low earth orbit.
