I agree, the first step towards the first of human steps on the moon.
All we need now is an actual fly-by-rocket lander that's robust and
fully documented, along with having been prototype proof tested to
perform throughout all the necessary functions without any glitches,
and of course with energy for systems and spare fuel to burn.

Lunar orbit within 4.5 days, of deploying hardly any payload (1900
kg), sounds about right.
