Intro

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Would you choose the moon as the place for your dream vacation? An astronaut would. There isn’t gravity on the moon, so people float instead of walk. At least they won’t trip over lunar rocks.

Visiting is one thing, but living on the moon would be excessive. Everything would have to be imported from Earth by space shuttles!

Discover who’s dreaming about living on the moon in this English lesson.

I like to look at the moon when it is reflected on the surface of the sea by the moon path. It is very beautiful and romantic …


I would like to visit the moon. And see what our planet looks like from there. I think it will be an amazing sight.

I don’t like to live on the moon rather I admire it more from the earth. When the moon look like white suspended ball that softly and poetically illuminate dark nights. I would like to take a fresh start on my earth again with more humane humans, healthy environment and world without conflicts.

Three days ago I saw halo around the moon. It was a big circle as though somebody draw it on the sky with a huge protractor. It was so precise, beautiful and unusual. It was only for 15 minutes, then it was gone. My camera wouldn’t have captured it. I didn’t see Ison, the comet, I wanted to spot so much but i was lucked out to see halo phenomenon. I’m grateful.


That’s exactly how it did look like!

I’ve seen a  programm, telling about benefits of moons colonization, such as getting different kinds of metals from there ,using it as a ground for sending space shuttles to explore  other planets, and so on.


I agree with Jeff that it is naturally for humans to explore new territories . I would like to see the moons surface with my own eyes, if it were possible. And  if I had a chance to have a fresh start there, and to live there for some time,I would use it.

Hmm….I am not sure.It must be so awesome to experience living on Moon, for sure.But I think there are too many mysterious places which I have not visited on Earth.I need to visit them first then, ok, I would like to find other new things on Moon.


Talking of moon, I should confess I don’t need to be walking on it to enjoy.Even watching it from miles away at night, surrounding by stars, makes me feel all the good feelings inside.It gives me the PEACE!!!

Live on the moon?Why not?Let’s see!!Oh darling,but the earth will feel jealousy…LOL.


I do love watching the moon with naked eyes,as many do.


I do care about romance which includes full moon nights.


I do feel high when I’ve been called”MooN”,who doesn’t?


Our mom’Earth’ hugs us,but I do miss a kiss from the’Moon’.


Guys, you think,Keck Telescope or Hubble Space may help do?


P.S. Moon looks like a woman-has its dark and light parts”Quarters”you need to explore it by telescope 150X,be recommended,but when it comes to the “Full moon”,don’t do it,just live the romance:)

if there is one day most people can settle down on the moon.I would like to go there just for experience.It must be excited to flow in a dark ,dreaming long time areas. Don’t have plan to live on the moon.You must take long time to adjust the new environment,It’s perfect just watching the beatiful sky on earth.

No not really.True,they say dream big and the universe is your limit but for me,and in this stage of my life I’d rather start with exploring this big beautiful globe first.There are too many great things you can do if you have the financial means(which is another story).


Maybe after living this “earthly” adventure I can consider spending my late years there.It’ll be a rejuvenating experience.Therefore,you die young in spirit and you can literally say goodbye to earth.


Plus,it’s better to be thrown in the wide bewitching galaxy than being smothered in the land’s womb.Because you become a new type of stars,a lively start :)

So mystical, mysterious and so inspiring, but i don’t think it’s a place to live but just to be apreciate, of course i’d like to visit there, but just for sightseeing! to me the Earth is a perfect place made perfectly to us, there’s no reason to change from here, even to make a fresh start!!

moon like many things in this life, it is beautiful only from afar, and we like it because it is mysterious but when we discover it we will find how cool and dark it is.
