1. Moon travel

-Do you think Moon travel of this type is a real possibility?
I think that today it is impossible. It is a utopia that probably could be realized in the next centuries.

-Would you go? What do you would enjoy and learn from the experience?
Yes I would. I think I would enjoy and learn from the experience, because the space is something not known for all.

- Do you think space travel in general is useful? What do you think we can learn from traveling in outer space?
Yes I do. With the study of the outer space it is possible to come to understand the beginning of the life on Earth planet.

-Do you think the money spent on space travel should be used for other things here on Earth?
Yes I do, but as I've said before, the man needs to know his origins.

3. Moon stories
There is a few myths and superstitions regarding the full moon in Ireland. One of the most unusual is that Irish people did not see a mans face or a crab on the moon, but they saw a Hare, a Hare carrying an egg. To see the hare turn your head to the left and use your imagination to see the two ears at the top.
It was considered lucky to see the full moon over your right shoulder and it was bad luck to see it over your left. It is also considered lucky to get a haircut on a full moon, better luck still to get it cut in the light of the full moon. But the worst luck of all was the for light of the full moon to land on your face as you slept, as you would not see the year out,
Another superstition was for people to go outside an look at the full moon reflected through a mirror, if you stared long and hard enough then you would see someone that will be connected with your future.
The Celtic Goddess of the moon was Rhiannon she was a beautiful woman who rode a white horse through the sky's.
