Moon Landing:

I usually let it freefall and accelerate until the altitude is about 540, then hit '7' and watch as the rate of descent decreases all the way down to '1', by which time the altitude is rather low. At that point, hit '5' to steady the rate of descent and coast gently down to the surface with about 1 unit of fuel remaining.

Once you know how to do this you can do it every time, so the game really needs the introduction of a random element, such as a semi-random starting altitude, to make it more of a challenge.
