lol.... not sure of the thrust needed to slow down enough to go into orbit around the moon...but I would assume it would be huge...with a load of time needed to decrease speed at a reasonable g force. But I believe someday we’ll have this technology and greater.

It would use constant acceleration to the halfway point then flip 180 degrees and use the same constant acceleration to slow down. Stop on a dime in moon or Pluto orbit orbit.
