Just one question I'm having from "The Seeds of Death"

Why is the world is the Doctor taking a rocket to the moon instead of using the Tardis?

Writers back then couldn't decide whether the TARDIS could be reliably piloted or not. In some stories, it could make short exact hops as well as huge journeys, and in others, it was totally random. The script editors didn't seem to notice.
