The Moon orbits the Earth, so a moon shot is hardly venturing "beyond Earth orbit".
Are any other backronym fans thinking that it should be the "...Incinerator and Eliminator"?
Well, that's easy enough. Meteor strikes are natural, and therefore good. Slamming a rocket into the moon is done by human beings, and is therefore bad. Simple!
