Technically, you're among the stars before you even start.
If you wait long enough, the moon will come to you.

it won't. the distance between earth and moon is increasing by about 4 cm per year.

Ah, I see the problem, you're not waiting long enough.

I have been greatly inspired to aspire to apathy.

Technically, landing on the moon is landing among the stars.

Logically you are among the Stars as long as you stay inside the milky way.

Even extragalactic voyages are among the stars. The distances just increase.

Even in places like the Boötes Void, you're still among stars. They're just very far away.

Even in places like past visible space, you're still "among" stars. They're just very far away.

Even then you are likely surrounded by hard vacuum for light years in every direction. “Among the stars” is pretty much any goddamn place.

If you miss the moon, hopefully you launched on a free return trajectory so you won't be lost in a highly eccentric orbit without enough delta V to bring you back home. Dying of dehydration out beyond the moon isn't a way I'd want to go.

Dying of dehydration in Appleton, Wisconsin, on the other hand..

T’lyn doesn’t like aiming for the moon because Vulcan has no moon.

I would expect "among the stars" to be taken as not within the visible atmosphere of a planet. Basically "visibly surrounded by the stars".

The Warp 10 barrier is like the Prime Directive. Frequently broken.

OK, other than that one time, with the reptile sex, when??
OK, other than that other time, when??
OK, other than those half dozen other times, when??

Shoot for the stars and there's a statistic likelihood that given sufficient time you will collide with one.
