"Very good, Allison!" She handed the girl a coupon she had been given


"An interesting tidbit is that the only reason the other satellites of other planets are called 'moons' is because of our own moon. It passed on it's name and definition.

"The spacesuits that astronauts wear are heavy and difficult to move in. It's basically another person on top of you. However, the gravity of the moon is so weak, that it's easy to walk around in. The reason for the heavy suits is because the radiation from the Sun is very dangerous. In fact, it's dangerous for us here on Earth, imagine how much more dangerous it would be without an atmosphere to protect us, and being much closer than we currently are." Maidee shuddered, her skin was the kind that easily burned as it was, she did NOT want to lose the precious atmosphere.
