Aug 7 (Reuters) – Russia will launch its first lunar landing spacecraft in 47 years on Friday in a race with India to the south pole of the moon, a potential source of water to support a future human presence there.
India headed to the moon four days before Russia goes. Both are seeking to find evidence of water on the moon that would be enough to sustain life there. The moon is large enough for the both of them to be there, probably without even seeing one another there. The USA is not in the race to the moon, apparently. We are too busy talking about going to Mars.
This started me thinking about whether I would want to go to the moon or not if an affordable opportunity presented itself. I remember, as a teenager, reading in the Enquirer that one day we would have classes on the moon. I thought at the time that I would not ever want to go to the moon (or Mars, either). I still don’t feel a desire to go to the moon. Then, again, I also said I would never need a passport because I did not want to travel outside of the United States. Well, we received our passports last year and traveled to Mexico on a cruise ship. So, never say never, I guess!
