Moon and Time Ordinary People
When I read the advertisement about a trip to Moon, I knew I had to go. As the tour was very expensive so I had to scrape up every cent I had and rent a space suit and study the space traveller's manual to prepare for the trip. Suddenly I heard my mother calling me ,so I woke up and realized that it was a dream.
From childhood, I was interested to know about the Moon. And gradually my interest increased and now I want to visit the Moon for many reasons . The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth and the fifth largest moon in the Solar System. It is the only celestial body other than Earth on which humans have set foot. The tides on the Earth are mostly generated by the gradient in intensity of the Moon's gravitational pull from one side of the Earth to the other, the tidal forces. The Moon has been the subject of many works of art and literature and the inspiration for countless others. It is a motif in the visual arts, the performing arts, poetry, prose and music.

To be realistic I can only visit places on earth. There are the Seven , and other, Wonders of the Earth such as the marvels of The Pyramids Of Egypt, The Great Wall Of China, The Taj Mahal, The Leaning Tower Of Pisa, The Colosseum Of Rome, Stonehenge in England and others.But by the time ordinary people can visit the moon, I will probably be very old or dead. Anyhow it would be quite an experience to walk on the moon. It is said that there is no air or water there and our weight is many times less. I certainly would like to see how high I can jump and how fast I can run on the moon.
So it remains a place which I like to visit. Who knows, I might get to visit it in future, or not at all. Only time will tell.

This is a imagining discussion of a very unlikely future event or situation as if it were possible and might one day happen.

    In The Secret Life of Bees, Sue Monk Kidd alludes to the first lunar landing to communicate that the mystery of the moon is more intriguing than its discovery. For example, August explains her distress when she hears of Ranger 7’s mission to the moon: “‘Now it won’t ever be the same, not after they’ve landed up there and walked around on her [the moon]. She’ll be just one more big science project’” (114). August further explains that the moon is fascinating because of its ambiguity, and now that humans have access to it, the moon’s mystery is uncovered. Thus, the reality of scientific discoveries replaces the mystical beauty that the previously untouched moon once held. On July 31, 1964, Ranger 7 lands on the moon and sends pictures back to…

    The 1960’s dealt with many instances of tragedy, but also brought about great technological and social advancements. The assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Civil Rights Movement, Cold War and the Vietnam War were all pivotal moments that contributed to define a tumultuous decade preceding Neil Armstrong’s walk on the Moon in 1969. The success of sending two men to walk across the land of another celestial body was more than a large scale science experiment for the United States- it was an affirmation of American ingenuity, it boosted national morale in an uneasy time, and ended the decade on an uplifted note. This work seeks to examine Neil Armstrong’s walk on the Moon, most specifically,…

    Four days traveling to the moon on Apollo 11 had to be and amazing experience for Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin. What if I had been a part of that? I can’t even begin to imagine the view, the emotional rollercoaster, or the feeling of success in that event. I wish that I could have been involved in the landing on the moon.…

    The sun and the moon form part of our universe, where they both hold their own power and value. The sun is in the center of the solar system with nine planets moving around it. The light given from the sun helps us experience the day and the night. After the sun, the moon is the the brightest object in the sky. Though the light that shines at night does not originate from the moon, it is reflected by sunlight. Their differences from each other are responsible for the life that we live in this Earth. Knowing about the sun and moon we can relate their relationship to the Spanish and the Aztec. The Aztec hold the position of the sun. When they first settled on the swampy island called Tenochtitlan, it became…

    Our first stop on the trip was to the Apollo 11 landing site, as it was the place of the first lunar landing. It is also a relatively smooth landing area so it was not difficult to land on. We continually explored something called lunar mares, which are basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions, which are very interesting to see. Basalt is dark gray to black igneous rock…

    I can only imagine what it would be like traveling to space. It is not something I sit around and think about doing. Those who had the pleasures of going to space, like the astronauts, are those who had been preparing for such a career. This does not make me want to go to space, going to space is like dying and going to the other side, you just do not know what to expect. Science tells us that space is like a never ending hole. This sounds a little creepy, but space really is not all that scary, it is quite amazing actually. Science tells us that space is a galaxy with many stars, planets, and rocks. However, I am against civilians in space because civilians are inexperienced and the cost can become extremely high.…

    The Moon is the only natural satellite of Earth. The distance from Earth is about 384,400km with a diameter of 3476km and a mass of 7.35*1022kg. Through history it has had many names: Called Luna by the Romans, Selene and Artemis by the Greeks. And of course, has been known through prehistoric times. It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. Due to its size and composition, the Moon is sometimes classified as a terrestrial "planet" along with Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.<br><br><b>Origin of the Moon</b><br>Before the modern age of space exploration, scientists had three major theories for the origin of the moon: fission from the earth; formation inearth orbit; and formation far from earth. Then, in 1975, having studied moonrocks and close-up pictures of the moon, scientists proposed what has come to be regarded as the most probable of the theories of formation, planetesimalimpact or giant impact theory.<br><br><b>Formation by Fission from the Earth</b><br>The modern version of this theory proposes that the moon was spun off from the earth when the earth was young and rotating rapidly on its axis. This idea gained support partly because the density of the moon is the same as that of the rocks just below the crust, or upper mantle, of the earth. A major difficulty with this theory is that the angular momentum of the earth, in order to achieve rotational instability, would have to have been much greater than the angular momentum of the present earth-moon system.<br><br><b>Formation in Orbit Near the Earth</b><br>This theory proposes that the earth and moon, and all other bodies of the solar system, condensed independently out of the huge cloud of cold gases and solid particles that constituted the primordial solar nebula. Much of this material finally collected at the center to form the sun.<br><br><b>Formation Far from Earth</b><br>According to this theory, independent formation of the earth and moon, as in the above theory, is assumed; but the…

    The first landing on the moon was an incredible milestone for humans. It marked the end of the Space Race, the creation of advanced technologies, and the unification of the USA. The start of the space race saw the Soviet Union take a giant head start over the United States of America with the successful launch of Sputnik, a Soviet Union satellite launched on October 4th, 1957. The Soviets also launched Sputnik 2, which contained a live passenger, but the passenger died due to the overheating of the cabin and Sputnik 2’s batteries died after only 6 days in space. The US attempted to catch up to the Soviet’s progress with the attempted launch on December 6, 1957, of the Vanguard.…
