It's been months...but, it felt like years. Boom! The 'thud' noise awakened us. I got up and saw people play around...wait...did that mean we reached there...! Finally! We reached! I tried to be careful, as I left the congested area. I tried as hard as I can not to hit my head on the ceiling, well, I was used to it so it didn't really matter. Back to what I was saying, we put on our helmets and the door opened. It looked like an old movie...or a newspaper. What I mean is that it was plain black and white. The sky was pitch black, but the bright little stars brightened the whole scene. Down below was a bumpy, rough and uneven ground. It looked pretty cool and it was in a greyish tone. It also had big craters on it and it looked more different than I thought it would look like. I jumped but instead of getting back on my feet right away I slowly got down (like a feather). I was on the moon! It was exciting and pretty cool. We've all been waiting for this moment for 8 months. Walking didn't feel like walking, it felt more like skipping but in slow motion. Everything we did happened in slow motion, just like it did in movies. It felt like walking on a gigantic trampoline and having one-fifth of your weight. Imagine that. It was hard to walk in space since there is less gravity and on top of that you also have an uncomfortable suit which makes it harder for you to walk. But still, it's an experience you would never want to miss!
