    Yeah, but if you’re actually aiming for the moon and miss, an orbit is pretty likely. It may not be a good orbit, but consider that you’re most likely to miss because the moon has precessed in its orbit during your transit further than you expected, meaning that you’ll end up coming around the back of the moon and captured by its gravity.
