Well these landers will land him there safely you see. What you're looking for is a rocket to fly him there.

Can I stuff my asshole neighbor into this and send them to the moon permanently?

I love the Armadillo lander, I hope they get all the way to the moon. With no fires on touchdown (I guess in a vacuum there wouldn't be exterior fire)

Congratulations to all involved.
