But look at the setting. In our world (according to you), only select people in the military are able to operate Bullhead-like jets. However in the world of RWBY, these types of jets can be independently owned by anyone with enough money. We also have massive airships that transport students to a school...which I would consider to be much more illogical. The first spaceship to make it to the moon didn't even have the processing power of my laptop that I am using to write this message. Yet in the world of RWBY, they have holopads, all purpose Dust, cyber-droids, and as previously stated, massive airships (which apparently don't cost much to use because a bus would be cheaper then a jet powered airship).

Based on this, it seems illogical that they wouldn't have gone to the moon at some point. And if they have, a small base for mining could probably be constructed as the world of RWBY does seem more advanced then are own.
