Why do scientists aim for a point in space rather than the Moon itself when they want a spacecraft to reach the Moon?

          While playing darts, you aim your dart to an exact point on the dart board. Or else, you will probably miss the target. But this won’t work for a spacecraft if it is to land on the Moon. Wonder why?

          Your dart board is a stationary object while the Moon is always in motion. In addition to that, a spacecraft always travels in a curve. Therefore the scientists always aim for a point in space. But they do not choose a random point. They calculate the time that the Moon would take to reach the exact point.
