Possibly the simplest and most elegant approach is the method of momentum exchange by tethers, from Tethers Unlimited.
This could be built fairly easily, possibly cheaper than building a mass driver on the Moon.

It has an advantage over mass driver in that it can be used to soft land on
the Moon as well as depart from the Moon.
> It needs zero propellant, and
zero energy input <.
