After expanding to Lunar orbit I deactivated the main engine. 4 ions should complete the transfer:

Or you could use Ion engines that can perpetually run on RTG’s. It wouldn’t need to be fast but it would do it eventually

IDEA: build a river with a low center of mass that can run forever without rechargiing.
Prop up a stylus against a wall so the touchy (yes Im sure thats the proper word) bit is on the move button.
Let sit ther all day. Get some tea while you wait. And a cookie.

You can have a wet napkin to put over the move button if you have a phone or ipad.
It also “touches” the screen
