A Trip To The Moon

A Trip To The Moon

All of the most important astronomers of the entire world were reunited in France, in the Club of Astronomy. They were starting the discussion when professor Barbenfoullis screamed that he had discovered a secret formula and now it was possible to humans to travel to the Moon. Then the discussion started for real. Everybody wanted to scream louder than the other, saying that this was impossible and it was a suicide mission to go to the Moon. But five brave scientists agreed to go on the mission.

Omega, one of the sctientist, was very curious about what they would find in their mission. He was obsessed with life in other planets, but he never proved his theory in the Club of Astronomy, and now he had a chance to be someone in the community of astronomy. He couldn’t wait to the trip! As the time passed, he helped to build the rocket that would fly to the Moon.

He made his baggage with energy and in the day of the great trip, entered in the rocket and saw all those people waving to them, hoping for their best. He saw then getting smaller and smaller, so as the houses and France. Then he saw the Earth, a blue and big ball, waving to them too. Moving to the other side of the rocket, he finally saw the Moon, imagining wha kind of fantastic things he would find.

A Trip To The Moon

A Trip To The Moon

              In 1893, the world was changing with the end of slavery and the start of democracy. During that time, lots of people started questioning what happened in the moon that shined every night at their homes. One of those people realized that if he built a box made of metal and send it to the moon by the impulse of a lever, he would be able to send people there. Joining him, scientists, physics and mathematics from all around the world joined and built a big ball made of iron and gold. They decided the day of the release would be Sunday, when the moon would be closer to that side of Earth.

            

               In January 23th, everyone that had been part of the project gathered together to see the big moment. Standing there was presidents and select people chosen by a raffle. Soon, five scientists came and where applauded by the audience. They all got inside the machine and started counting while the anxiety was rising at them. In 10 seconds, the ball was thrown and everyone would send them good luck.

            

             The 5 scientists got to the moon, and decided to exit the ship. As each one started coming out, they would describe things in a different way. One person was seeing a dark sky, with big mountains and a strong air. The other would see a yellow sky, red bushes and a soft breeze. After some time, they realized with their knowledge that the moon would emit characteristics interpreted differently by each person brain. They got extremely happy and wrote down everything each one was feeling. That night, they all slept inside the ball, amazed by what they had learned.

             

             In the next day, they woke up and in two hours prepared the equipment for landing. When they finished, they said goodbye to the moon and launched the machine back to Earth. As they got here, all of them were congratulated by their big discovery. The scientists weren´t able to describe with assurance what they had seen, but they all concluded it wasn´t as beautiful as the moon shining in the sky.
