I started planning my future vacation to the Moon today. Where else do you start, but with Apollo 11? If you started anywhere else it'd be like going to Disneyland by climbing over the back wall into Toon Town. I promised my daughter four or five years ago that we'd go on a trip to the moon someday. When she asked when, I said, "Oh, when you're twenty," thinking that I was putting that date so far out there, that a) she'd forget about it, or b) lunar travel services would be commonplace by that time. I sat back, and thought, no problem. Fast forward a few years. She didn't forget, and now my son's on board. "When are we going to the moon, dad?" Now, I'm panicking. I scour space.com news regularly. Where are the Moon tours? What in Zeus' name is it going to cost me?
Well, at least we can plan it, thanks to Google. http://moon.google.com/
And I almost forgot, if you zoom in close enough you get see what's under the Moon's tired gray crust.
