      I’d definitely go the Moon if I got the chance, that would be amazing!

      On the parts of the Moon that are in the sunlight, the temperature can reach over 100C. In the shadows of deep craters that never get any sunlight, though, it’d been known to dip all the way to -238C!

      @622frcc29 I would definitely go to the moon – that would be amazing (just as long as I got back in time for tea)

      I’d definitely go to the moon. All the astronauts who went said that it was a literal shift to their entire world view to be able to see the Earth as a planet, and looking small and adrift in so much space. It sounds amazing, in the truest sense of the word.
