___________________________________________________
For those who qualify for this costly trip, permits will be given for travel to the moon. Friends, family, or lovers may apply as a unit for this one and only “out-of-the-world” experience lasting no more than one week. Since the moon has already been colonized by the greatest of our world’s minds, moon vacations are comparable to educational fun field trips where folks will view mankind’s unique adjustment to moon life. To qualify, people must pass a test involving simulation of space travel. Both adults and children must also pass a test determining their ability to cope with the experience. Those with criminal records need not apply. Having qualified, my husband and I enter daily free lotteries within our designated small region. With a chance of one out of a thousand each day, we figure we will get our trip before we die. We can’t wait to view earth from the moon!

Thanks, Chetta. I appreciate that. I love sci Fi and just wish I could have been a bit more creative.

The "lunacy" has already started on a small scale as private industry has been opening up spaceflight to millionaires. I did enjoy reading this as it expresses a certain longing that some must feel to be part of this craze. You capture these contest entries so well.

I could not care less to go to the moon. This is just for a sci Fi entry. Our winter is fairly mild. So we are fine

The trip of a lifetime, Andrea. Sara and I would love to go, but Sara is afraid of heights, no way this trip will be okay. :-) Good luck in the contest. Bill
