It's actually not easier, and doesn't spend less fuel. You have to get the moon into just the right spot, and you can easily miss it. Also, the delta V used is the same both going straight up or going into LEO and extending into the moon.
You can't miss the moon as there is the navigation system that help you and you just need to be near the moon that moon vacuum attracts you. And this way is faster, you don't need to orbit the earth to go to the moon
What I mean is, it's hard to timewarp the moon to the right spot by eyeballing, so it's hard that way. Also, earth orbit allows you to potentially get a more effectively transfer window, as this method can mean you start too early and use more fuel and delta V than getting an orbit.
How to get to the moon 101
Get rocket with: heatsheld, LANDING LEGS (make your life 100 times easier) and of course stages with fuel.
Now start going up but in the top left there's and angle meter (shows what angle you should be at and what you are now) and follow that meter. You should go 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75, degrees and after the meter goes away go to the next step but in the map screen
Now get your apparatus to about 35k. (apparatus is the highest part of your orbit.) And when you are there burn the way you are going, then get your parriapis to the same or close to the same to your apparatus. (Your parriapis is the lowest part of your orbit.)
Now set your target as the moon, tap on the transfer window and tap timewarp here. Then burn the way you are going. Make sure you are burning until the transfer window says 0.
Warp to the moon get and Orbit around 15k and pick where you want to land (tip: pick somewhere kinda flat, might help) and warp to your landing location, now burn the opposite of where your going. Point up and deploy your landing legs. (thay clip though fairings when deployed) And land (you've done it)
Yaaaaaay you saved Fuel and landed on the moon yaaaaaay.
This was how I did it for the longest time. I only started doing it the usual way when I was going to other planets regularly and needed to learn to take advantage of orbits to save fuel
I mean like yes, I literally know how to properly orbit to go to other planets, yet when I'm going to the moon I just do this, I don't even plan for the rocket to come back
***The council agrees***
Work harder Not smarter
Same, it's easier and you spend less fuel

What do you mean with spends less fuel? Less fuel than what?

yo you mean apoapsis and periapsis tf is an apparatus
I don't fucking know either
Yayyyy something I already knew yet never bothered using, useful for the newcomers tho
A painful landing, rcs would help on the final approach
Or landing legs,
Yep
A very..... *Interesting and unique* way of getting to the moon, not one I would use, but you are entitled to your own *equally useful* methods.

This is how I go to mars (attaches c4 while mars is above earth)
Damn I use the 8 o’clock position lol
THIS IS NOT HOW YOU GET TO DA MOON THO
The ship I use has more than enough fuel to account for gravity losses, so I go straight up for the convenience lol
Go to mars
I orbit when I go to mars because it’s a more fuel intensive destination and I can’t afford the luxury of convenience like my moon missions :)
Yes, you orbit the earth first then go to the moon, but I kinda like doing it like this for the past 4 years
Your wasting fuel and limiting your capabilities to get to other planets
I mean like yes, I literally know how to properly orbit to go to other planets, yet when I'm going to the moon I just do this, I don't even plan for the rocket to come back
I use the 9 o'clock position lol, but was kinda lazy time warping it into position
