We can work either forward or backward.

Forward:  Brute-force a, knowing t and d.  Bear in mind d
is half the distance to the moon (the assumption being that
the lunabus will turn around halfway there and decelerate
at the same rate as it accelerated there in the first place)
and t is 4 minutes.  So we get

a = 3.84 * 10^8 m / (240^2) = 6667 m/s/s

Waaaaaay too much.

If you were really such a physics hot-shot you'd know that if gravity were
use as a method of propulsion then G forces don't apply.

In other words, keep an open mind.
