the circulatory way to moon

as i follow this curious hindu space venture to the moon via what is called
chandrayaan, i run into to terms like earth burning and moon burning. is
it
hindu way of steering the vehicle in the space?

i don't get this hindu idea of going around the earth 5 times before
reaching into moon orbit. nasa never did that sorta thing. why can't the
hindus get to the moon straight? it almost looks like their style is
rooted
in their idea that you have to spin around a few times before you get to
the
point. i guess this mission to moon helps you  understand hinduism like
nothing else. it seems the satelite too will go around the moon several
times before it settles into its final orbit. is it a hindu thing or are
we
all hindus eventually?
