No one knew for sure how to get to the moon, how to land, or get home.

This sentence from the excerpt best identifies the problem. It states that they don't know "how to get to the moon, how to land, or get home." This gives the reader the idea that the characters in the story are stuck because they don't know how to get anywhere. The first sentence merely states who is in trouble. The second option only says that the goal was clear-cut, but it doesn't actually say what the goal or problem is. The last one says that they want to solve the problem, but still doesn't identify the problem.
