Print it on the surface of the Moon with lasers
Chain a lot of nuclear bombs, such as each one sends all the next further towards the moon
A giant catapult
(Trampoline)
Pay (or otherwise encourage) SpaceX or NASA or some other company to do a rocket to the Moon
Shoot a ball from a really good cannon
Make a railgun
Use a balloon and then a smaller rocket (or a nuclear bomb)
Build a really high tower
Do something with all the water or other stuff to slow the Moon down faster, get it closer to Earth, put something on the Moon right before the collision
Get a lot of strong/powerful people to toss it
Make a really strong spring
Make a really good bow
Make an antimatter engine
Make a nuclear engine
Make a gun that shoots downwards and propels this way
Have a lot of people climb each other, some in space suits, and put something on the moon
A smaller tower made of people but people jump at the same time
Figure out the laws of physics and teleport it there, if possible (through a hole in space time)
Acausally trade with those running the simulation and get them to place it on the Moon
Have it spin really fast (on an insanely strong string!) and then disconnect from the center at the right moment for it to fly towards the Moon
Have it attached to something less dense than air and then a really light strong long string such that it naturally floats in the air and gets out of the atmosphere and then proceeds to go up because Earth rotates, get it disconnected so it ends up on the Moon
Grow a really big plant, climb it and throw (also solves global warming, many carbon credits). Might require getting more matter from other planets or the Sun first! The view would be cool though, imagine a giant tree 100x larger than Earth on this small little ball 😄
Make a tower out of something pneumatic, lunch everything at the same time
Blow a lot of air on it upwards, so it gets carried to the Moon. Can be done by humans or machines
Build aligned AGI and ask it to do it
Make nanorobots and have them jump
Attach a magnet to it. Make a strong magnet. Get them close on the dispelling side, release
Make a table with changing height, but there’s basically no limit on the height
Select/genetically engineer animals for their sizes, until you get something that grows so big it can send things to the Moon
Use particle accelerators to send a lot of particles to the Moon to precisely add up to what you want
Make large speakers and use resonating sound waves to send something to the Moon
Help a really big volcano erupt strongly, sending something to the Moon
Send a message to aliens that we need help putting something on the Moon, wait
Make a small black hole (edit: I probably meant using it for acceleration somehow, but also if both the moon and the something is in a black hole this probably counts?)
Have something run really fast on the surface of Earth and then go up
Use a lot of fireworks
Make a lot of something, put in protective casing in a lot of places, cut Earth into chunks, wait
Have people (or machines) stomp in a way that makes waves on the Earth surface, creating a point that has so much synchronously coming into it that it launches something to the Moon
Make a big multiple parts pendulum, hope it randomly rotates in a way bringing something to the Moon
It’s already there in some Everett branches (possibly including yours; have you checked?)
Attach something to a cat, point a huge laser at the Moon, let the cat figure it out
Got only 42 in an hour
