American Neil Armstrong stepped out of this space capsule and onto the dusty moon on July 21, 1969. Have you ever thought about what it would be like to live on the moon? Well surprise Scientists have discovered water on the moon. And what does life need to exist on the moon? Water Humankind has evolved because we are problem solvers. If we want to live somewhere or do something we can figure out how to do it, because we are problem solvers. If anyone can conquer and live on the moon, we can. So will we be colonizing the moon any time soon? Probably not, because there are many other problems we would need to solve first, such as building shelter, harnessing electricity and feeding ourselves up there. However, the future holds many possibilities, and we may be colonizing the moon sooner than we think. Penelope Dyan is a former teacher, an attorney and an award winning writer. Two of her books for children have been chosen by the UK Arts Council and are on display at the Saisoon Poetry library on the fifth floor of the Royal Exhibit Hall at Southbank Centre, London. When Dyan heard about the discovery of water on the moon, enough water to sustain life, her imagination soared, just as your child's imagination is probably soaring. The stars and the moon have been of fascination to us since time began; and as it turned out, this was a perfect subject in this particular political time. So will we be flying to the moon any time soon? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we can all have fun with Dyan speculating on this subject and enjoying her kid-friendly illustrations and poetry.
