Yeah thats what my point was. Doesn't sound to me like the goal was to "get to the moon" it sounds more like they hope to reach Mars with this new thruster thing they have come up with. And they spent 3 years testing it out.
The probe itself they used was pretty cool in size and capacity though, plus the teenie tiny budget they worked with (compared with NASA) is pretty impressive as well.
