My dream is to build a giant catapult on the moon and fire stale ju-jubes at earth.

Using the equation:
x = x0 + v0*t + 1/2*a*t^2
with x0 = 0, v0 = 0 m/sec, t = 1 sec, and x = 50 m,
solving for acceleration, a = 100 m/s^2.
I think that two bungy cords sandwiched between two posts 50 meters high (a giant slingshot) might be enough to launch a bowling ball or ju ju bees towards Earth that would subsequently produce a dazzling array of fireworks upon entry into the atmosphere. I don't know what the escape velocity of the Moon is, but it has to be significantly less than Earth.
