Outer Space- Moon
Day 1- Flying To The Moon
Day 2- What Will I Learn Today?

Day 3- Today Is Not My Day! :(
I have had a great time exploring the moon and finding some samples of foreign substances (moon sand perhaps) but today was definitely not my day. It all started this morning when I woke up and hit my head on the roof so now I have a goose bump Then when I got my gear on I walked outside and tripped and I rolled my ankle. So luckily I had an emergency kit. My emergency kit has the following:
- Ice Pack & Heat Pack
- Bandaids
- Tensor Bandage
- Extra Food & Drinks
- Flash light
- Disinfectant pads
- pain medications
- splint
So from my injuries all I needed was an icepack for my head and foot, and I used the tensor bandage to wrap my foot. Tomorrow I will have to work harder because I wasted some of my time up here on the moon fixing myself. Being an astronaut is a lot of work.
Day 4- Space can be COMPLICATED & DANGEROUS!!!
So to protect you from these dangers, a space suit must:
- Have a pressurized atmosphere.
- Give me oxygen as well as get rid of carbon dioxide
- Maintain a comfortable temperature
- able to move into and out of sunlit areas
- Protect me from the radiation and micro-meteoroids
- Allow you to see clearly, move easily, and communicate with others
My spacesuit is my life line, without it I could not explore the moon.
Regular ToiletAs you can see this one isn't difficult at all. | Space Ship ToiletThis one is obviously more complicated than the one at our homes but I am pretty sure once you learned how to work it, it wouldn't be as complicated. | Space SuitThis is what I have to wear which when I first saw thought would make me boiling! But did you know there is no weather or wind in space. |

This one is obviously more complicated than the one at our homes but I am pretty sure once you learned how to work it, it wouldn't be as complicated.
Day 5-PROS & CONS Of The Moon
MOON vs Earth:
MOON:
Pros:
- Can bring a dramatic change to our lives
- Has the possibility of discovering the undiscovered
- We could find new minerals & materials
- it has not been inhabited by anything, so we could create a new ecosystem
- You couldn't really live here as it is- little oxygen & gravity, it would take lots of money and time to make it inhabitable
- We could invite micro-organisms to earth that were meant for space
- It is very expensive to make the tools and machines to travel
Pros:
- You could live here because we have oxygen & gravity
- We can wear what ever we want, no heavy space suits!
- We have forests, oceans, deserts and mountains, very diverse ecosystem
- The earth is polluted.
- we are separated by large masses of water so travel requires many modes of transportation such as planes and boats.
Day 6- One More Day Until I Leave This Outstanding World
So today I am finishing up my notes so I can just have some free time tomorrow before I leave. I have so much to write about. I have learned so much during my stay on the moon. Here are some interesting things to think about-
NOTES:
- Lets just say you were walking 5 miles per hour to walk around the whole entire moon it would 2 weeks, 4 days, 7 hours and 23 minutes to walk around the equator of the moon. The diameter of the moon is 2,160 miles from its equater.
- The distance between the moon and the sun is about 93 million miles from each other.
- The lunar atmosphere has no weather which is why when Neil Armstrong left his foot print on the moon it stayed there then and his still here today.
Day 7- I Will Never Forget This Incredible World!
- He is an american astronaut,
- test pilot,
- aerospace engineer,
- university professor,
- United States Naval Aviator
- and the first person to step foot on the moon. (Which is why is foot print is on the moon.)
Now I am walking out on the moon to find that foot print. Its been in hour and according to my calculations I am getting closer to the footprint.
20 MINUTES LATER...
I have found the foot print and it is amazing. From the textures and ridges, to the excitment inside of me, I am jumping up and down because I found the foot print. I took some pictures so I can print it and add it to my notebook. The reason why I was so excited to find this footprint is because Neil Armstrong is my idol. Anyway I have to go now since my space ship leaves in 2 hours. And I still need to get all my things together. I have had a great time and hope to have another mission again!!! Until next time...
