Heinlein made it sound so cool, in a "completely wipe an oppressive government off the face of the Earth and you know we will absolutely fucking do it" kind of way. If I remember right the idea was to use a rail gun.
I think it was some sort of cargo transport mechanism. It just lobbed stuff hard enough to clear the Moon's orbit and then let the Earth's gravity do all the real work.
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, eh?
