Up, Up and Away

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

By Tracy Schruder

How much would I pay to go to the moon? The cost of going to the moon is much more than financial. It could cost you, your very life. I have a deep respect for astronauts and their bravery. I don’t think that, even if I was filthy rich, I would rocket out into space in a tin can. I just don’t have that kind of grit.

There’s a admiration inside me for the timeless beauty of the moon. I have photographed it, on several occasions and at various stages. I could stand outside, all night long, just looking at it.

The moon is both mysterious and powerful. It has the power to move oceans. It has the power alter moods and perceptions. When it’s full, lunacy becomes us. We are all affected by the moon’s cycles. Although, in some people, it’s more evident.

I’ll opt out of this one. I’ll just remain here on Earth 🌍 I’ll keep my money. Although, I will enjoy the mystical beauty and mystery, of the moon from here.
