I'm not saying we don't have that tech, I'm saying that in RWBY, that type of tech is marketed to the public and pretty much anyone can buy it. Just that points to the fact that as a society, the world of RWBY is more advanced then us. You even said in your comment that in 10 years, we will be seeing combat droids. RWBY on the other hand already has them and the SDC owns a whole train car full of them, as well as a huge spider-droid. With this level of technology at their disposal, a trip to the moon seems like it would be easy.

I'm also not saying they did mine the moon, which caused it to crack up like it has. I'm just saying that it is possible based on the tech we have seen in the show. Maybe they did try to mine the moon and the Dust reacted violently (like when Ruby sneezed), which caused a chain reaction that blew up that entire side of the moon and it is only held in place because of Black-Gravity-Dust.
