Ok. I mean believability is subjective, so while it seems reasonable to me, it might not to you.
But remember that acceleration due to gravity drops off as an inverse square from the center of the Earth. So it gets much, much easier to push away from Earth the farther out you get.
And moving more than 500 mi from Earth isn't because of a hard energetic limit. It's because nobody's wanted to sink the money into a modern manned moon mission.
Other countries have sent probes to the moon, so it's been proven physically possible by other parties. Unless those are hoaxes too?
