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 Toilet
As you can see this one isn't difficult at all.
Space Ship Toilet
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.
Space Suit
This 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.
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...
