lanuch from earth is dangerous, so why not mine uranium from the moon, put it in lunar orbit where ships from earth can pick it up.

Moon fans might say they don't like risk of radioactivity on the moon either, but with less gravity, smaller simpler rockets less likely to explode can be used to launch into orbit.
