You Will Go to the Moon
You WILL go to the Moon. The whole book was about a kid's vacation to a Soviet / US Space Station and to the moon. The book spoke very matter-of-factly about how all of these things most definitely WOULD happen to me. I grew up with this idea in my head that I could visit the Moon just like Disneyland or Europe. I didn't question this notion for a long time. There were old videos of people on the moon already. These were old videos. They MUST be able to send me to the moon now if they were able to send those guys there all those many years ago. It only made sense.
In my reality, the Moon was a place you could visit whenever you wanted to. You can only imagine my disappointment as I slowly figured out that not only couldn't I go to the moon without being a skilled astronaut, but they weren't even doing moon missions anymore. No one could go to the Moon at all!
"What a crock of shit!" I thought to myself, until I read this.
"NASA plans to build outpost on the moon"
It looks like my reality will soon become reality!
All i can think is "It's about friggin time!"
