"At a point 43,495 miles from the Moon, lunar gravity exerted a force equal to the gravity of the Earth, then some 200,000 miles distant."
—Von Braun

But we are told Von Braun is mistaken and the neutral point of gravity is at ~25,000 miles distant from the moon.
-If the neutral point is at ~25,000 miles, the gravity of the moon is about 16% of earth’s gravity.
-If the neutral point is at ~43,000 miles, the gravity of the moon is about 65% of earth’s gravity.

If Von Braun was right, how did the LEM have enough power to leave the moon?
How we left the moon:
To leave earth it took this:
