| Crescent Crater Resort |
The ad read: "Are you tired of crowded resorts on Earth? Why don't you try the Crescent Craters resort on the moon? We offer great service, crater tours, a play area with a moon bounce and we also have moon buggy rides. You can also tour the Lunar Energy Solary Station (L.E.S.S.) facility. Recommendations include this quotefrom Lizzy and Kelsey who have been to our hotel, 'The Crescent Craters resort was stellar! We would always be willing to go again.' " �It only takes 3-5 days to get there (238,900 miles). The day highs are 265 degrees so it is great for your tan! There are many sights such as craters, mountain ranges and lava plains. It is also a new place so it is not dirty at all. So what do you think, should we go to the Crescent Craters resort again?� asked Lizzy with an excited leap. �I think it sounds great. What about you, Kelsey?� asked Mrs. Voigt. �Sounds good to me!� Kelsey replied. �Its official, we head to the moon on Saturday!,� decided Lizzy. �Yeah!�, everyone cheered together. That evening we packed out bags. Some of the things that we packed included our spacesuit, oxygen tank and tons of other things. Before we knew it, we were waiting for our spaceship to lift off. The captains were Taylor and Emma. This was Taylor�s first flight and we were all a little nervous. Emma�s father learned to fly from John Glenn and he taught Emma. We knew that she would do a great job flying the spaceship. After four days, Emma delivered them safely to the moon. �As you can see, our flight is now over. You may get up and leave. Watch that first step! Gravity is only 1/3 of Earth�s,� Emma said. �We�re finally here! We�re finally here!� everyone chanted. We got off and took the waiting moon buggy to the resort where Madeleine greeted us at the door and gave us our brochures. We decided to tour L.E.S.S. first. That�s the Lunar Energy Solar Station. We got back on the moon buggy for the trip there. Jacob greeted us. �Welcome to LESS! LESS is a factory on the moon that runs all the powered things here. It also sends back solar energy to the Earth. All over the building and around it you will see thousands of huge solar panels.� Jacob and Audrey, who also ran the plant, let us explore a few minutes on our own and then gave us the complete tour. Many of the things we didn�t understand, so Jacob and Audrey told us about them. �What is the purpose of LESS?� asked Lizzy. �Our purpose is to send solar power back to Earth. This is very inexpensive and clean power,� Audrey stated. �Thanks for coming,� she added when the tour was over. �What do you want to do next? I would really like to go tour the nearby craters next,� Kelsey enthusiastically said. Everyone agreed to go on the tour of the craters and we found out that Taylor and Emma were going to be the ones taking us on the tour. They had to wait awhile for their return trip to Earth. They took us in a moon buggy and we got to go to several craters and learn facts about them. Many were made very long ago by meteors. Everyone agreed that the best was Copernicus. We finished the tour and we had a few minutes left. Taylor said, �You can go see the American flag that Neil Armstrong placed on the moon at another time. That is also very exciting to see.� �That sounds great. Thank you for the tour, � Emma said. Our tour was now over and since we were going home soon, we decided to hang out at the hotel. We went on the moon bounce and then to the room where you could walk on the ceilings because the gravity is only about 1/3 that of Earth. Our favorite room was the room where you could actually �bounce off the walls!� We were having so much fun that we forgot that we had to go home to Earth soon. �Well, I hope your trip was a success and you�ll come back again,� Madeleine ended as she waved good-bye. When we got home three days later, we all said to each other that the Crescent Craters Resort was the best resort in the Universe. We couldn�t wait to return! |
