Farana Chery| Astrid Hernandez| 223| December 1, 2016| John D. O'bryant
As young children Farana and I, Astrid Hernandez, have been in love with the moon. We fell in love with the wonders it has to offer. We studied every accepect of it as we can, Starting from the history of the moon. With the theory that a giant object collided with the Earth and later the debris of the collision formed into the moon. To become our dream as a NASA astronaut, we needed to either have a minumum of a bachelor's degree in engineering, biological science, physical science or mathematics. This meant alot of studying!
"Man Farana, I can't believe that the chief didn't assign us to the mission to the moon!", Astrid sighed. Astrid was looking foward for the trip for months, to soon find out she wasn't going. As she turned to Farana she was able to see that she wasn't upset like she was. "Why aren't you sad?, We've been dreaming about this for years." With a smirk Farana turnded to Astrid and said,"I have a way to go to the moon, but you won't like it." Astrid didn't like to break the rules but for her dream to come true she would do anything. With a grin Farana ran to the bus stop next to the building. "Farana we have cars we don't need to go on public transportation", said astrid with a roll of eyes. "Shhhh, and get on" When Astrid got on she was starstruck. With beautiful space suits they practiced with in training, tons. They trained for months until they knew they were ready to blast off. In their Bus Ship Farana had been working on they checked on the fuel and gas. They want to make sure everything is ready so there are no malfuncations. "Alright so we have a full tank of gas and know that we can go two millions miles per day on fuel," Astrid said. "Lets put on our spacesuits now! I want to go!" Farana said eagerly. We packed air-dry food, first aid kits, extra clothes, and bed nessitys.
"Wow this space bus is beautful, My dreams have finally became true! I'm Going to the moon!", said Astrid. "How did you afford all of this? It must've cost a fortune."
"I know people in the facality and they loaned everything to me for a low price!, In all it only cost about 100,000", said Farana.
Finally when they got all packed up they were ready to go. It took them 3 days to get on the moon, containg the starstuck eyes of Astrid. They loved to see starts and the big ball of light that lights there Solar System.
Once they landed it was chaos. Astrid and Farana didn't know how to control the change in Gravity.
"Remember what we learned in traing", yelled Farana.
"I know, I just didn't expect this." screamed Astrid. Once adjusted they roamed the surface. They were able to find maria, craters, and highlands. The saw the Calvius Crater and the Copernicus crater, these were some of the craters they studied in the facality.
As they learned in Nasa, craters were caused by they impact of meteroids on the moons surface. Studies have also shown that comets could have been the main affector of craters. They also saw rilles, which gives evidence that there might have been water on the moon. They also noticed that temperatures varied on the moon. It was really hot one minute and freezing the next. This is all because of the moon's Atmosphere. The moon has a little atmosphere causing gases to escape and not protect the moon.
