I have no goal.  I am merely speculating on how it could
be done if it ever became a goal.

How much fuel would it require to cancel a 30km/sec velocity
component?

Sending humans (Americans) to the moon was motivated in large
part by the need to assert the supremacy of capitalism over
communism.  Back then the entire world was split into "free"
and communist factions.

The Soviets did similar propagandizing with Sputnik and Gagarin.

But the moon missions were very valuable scientifically.

Also, taxpayer dollars are still being spent to make future moon
missions more successful.  The NASA GRAIL satellite has mapped
the gravity field of the moon in very fine detail to make navigation
easier for future lunar landings.  The Chinese or the Indians will
certainly use this free data for their own lunar missions.
