To the Moon is an Uncommon Economy Joker that gives an extra $1 interest for every $5 held at the end of a round. Extra interest earned by the card is based on how much money the player is holding and limited by the current interest cap ($5 by default). The interest cap can be increased by buying Seed Money (Raise the cap on interest earned in each round to {{Money|10}} Base Seed Money.png) and Money Tree (Raise the cap on interest earned in each round to {{Money|20}} Max out the interest per round earnings for ten consecutive rounds Upgraded Money Tree.png). It is worth noting that the effect of To The Moon stacks with multiple copies of itself, gaining an extra $2 interest for every $5 held with two copies, an extra $3 with three copies, and so on and so forth.

This Joker works best with decks that want a high amount of money, like Zodiac Deck ( Start run with {{V|Tarot Merchant|class=hl-purple}}, {{V|Planet Merchant|class=hl-cyan}}, and {{V|Overstock|class=hl-orange}} Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Red}} difficulty or harder Zodiac Deck.png), Nebula Deck ( Start run with the {{V|Telescope|class=hl-cyan}} voucher <br> {{hl|red|-1}} consumable slot Win a run with the {{D|Blue}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Nebula Deck.png), and Painted Deck ( {{hl|orange|+2}} hand size, <br> {{hl|red|-1}} Joker slot Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Green}} difficulty or harder Painted Deck.png), which tend to scale most through Tarot and Planet cards that are purchased in the shop. It also is powerful with Yellow Deck ( Start with extra {{Money|10}} Discover at least {{hl|orange|50}} items from your [[Collection|collection]] Yellow Deck.png), as this deck tends to gain large amounts of interest earlier.

This card doesn't affect any hands.

As with many money-producing Jokers, it directly buffs the effects of Bull ({{Chips|+2}} for each {{$|1}} you have <br> {{currently|{{chips|+0}}}} Uncommon Chips Independent Bull.png) and Bootstraps ({{Mult|+2}} for every {{Money|5}} you have <br> {{Currently|{{Mult|+0}}}} Have at least {{hl|orange|2}} {{hl|edition|Polychrome}} Jokers at the same time. Uncommon Additive Mult Independent Bootstraps.png). It also, indirectly, powers up Flash Card (This Joker gains {{Mult|+2}} per {{hl|orange|reroll}} in [[The Shop|the shop]] <br> {{Currently|{{mult|+0}}}} Uncommon Additive Mult Independent Flash Card.png), Red Card (This Joker gains {{Mult|+3}} when any [[Booster Packs|{{hl|orange|Booster Pack}}]] is skipped <br> {{Currently|{{mult|+0}}}} Common Additive Mult Independent Red_Card.png), Ceremonial Dagger (When [[Blinds|{{hl|orange|Blind}}]] is selected, destroy [[Jokers|Joker]] to the right and permanently add {{hl|orange|double}} its sell value to this {{hl|red|Mult}} <br> {{currently|{{mult|+0}}}} Uncommon Additive Mult Independent Ceremonial Dagger.png), and other such economy-based scaling Jokers by producing more money to use in activating their effects.

Jokers that produce money mid-round, like Rough Gem (Played cards with {{suit|Diamond}} suit earn {{Money|1}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Diamond}} suit in your deck Uncommon Economy On Scored Rough Gem.png), Mail-In Rebate (Earn {{Money|5}} for each discarded [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|[rank]}}]], rank changes every round Common Economy On Discard Mail-In Rebate.png), and Faceless Joker (Earn {{Money|5}} if {{hl|orange|3}} or more {{hl|orange|face cards}} are discarded at the same time Common Economy On Discard Faceless_Joker.png), work very well with To the Moon, as the money produced counts towards interest earned at the end of the round.

Any other Joker that makes money, like Golden Joker (Earn {{Money|4}} at end of round Common Economy N/A (Passive) Golden_Joker.png), can be phased out in favor of this one, once you have enough interest going.

Being an Uncommon Joker, To the Moon also benefits from Baseball Card ([[Uncommon Jokers|{{hl|green|Uncommon}}]] Jokers each give {{xmult|1.5}} Rare Multiplicative Mult On Other Jokers Baseball Card.png), as it provides X1.5 Mult alongside its economy benefits.

• Gold Cards ({{money|3}} if this card is held in hand at end of round Gold Card.png) and Gold Seal (Earn {{money|3}} when this card is played and scores Gold Seal.png) allow money generation mid-round, meaning the money they make counts toward interest earned at the end.

• Seed Money (Raise the cap on interest earned in each round to {{Money|10}} Base Seed Money.png) and Money Tree (Raise the cap on interest earned in each round to {{Money|20}} Max out the interest per round earnings for ten consecutive rounds Upgraded Money Tree.png) have one of the strongest synergies with To The Moon, as they raise the base interest cap. With both vouchers, To the Moon can end up producing $40 at the end of every round.

• Avoid this Joker on Green Deck ( At end of each Round: <br> {{Money|2}} per remaining {{hl|blue|Hand}} <br> {{Money|1}} per remaining {{hl|red|Discard}} <br> Earn no {{hl|orange|Interest}} Discover at least {{hl|orange|75}} items from your [[collection]] Green Deck.png) and Mad World ( ), as those decks cannot gain interest at any time.
• Luxury Tax ( ) receives little benefit from To The Moon, as in order to take advantage of its high interest, the player would want high starting money, which this deck punishes.

• Vagabond (Create a [[Tarot Cards|{{hl|purple|Tarot}}]] card if hand is played with {{Money|4}} or less Rare Effect Independent Vagabond.png) encourages playing without earning interest, making To The Moon useless.
• Credit Card (Go up to {{hl|red|-$20}} in debt Common Economy N/A (Passive) Credit Card.png) enables going $20 in debt, well below the minimum interest level.

• The Omelette ( ) challenge bans To the Moon.

• "[Going] to the moon" is a common phrase used by cryptocurrency traders to describe a stock that is rising incredibly fast. The card art depicts the price of a stock going up exponentially.
• Unfortunately, this Joker has no synergies with the tarot card The Moon (Converts up to {{hl|orange|3}} selected cards to {{Suit|Clubs}} Available from start. Tarot The Moon.png).
