Green Energy, Battery Powered Space Rocket

The e-Mach 54/+- Greocket, this hunk of rocket power has 54 individual electric turbo thrust, brushless DC motors, each driven by a power plant of 27 lithium polymer batteries. With a total of 1,458 batteries to power all 54 motors, not counting the back-up, emergency power residual batteries, this mass of carbon steel blasts into orbit at mega cost.
In a one way launch and trip to the earth’s moon, the e-Mach 54/+- consumes 400,000 million kilowatt-hours. That is the same number of million killowatt-hours the entire state of Texas consumed in 2018 across all consumption categories; commercial, residential, industrial and transportation.
The amount of fossil fuels consumed in producing all components required to build and fly the e-Mach 54/+- Greocket is equal to the entire 2017 carbon footprints of the states of Ohio and Illinois with a total, 379 millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
With those kinds of numbers, the e-Mach is sure to be the future of lunar flights.
Green is good!
