Aspiring Astronauts

We're studying the moon landing right now.  My kids were being ridiculously spacey so I punished them by making them write one entire page *gasp!* on what they think it would be like to live on the moon, or if they thought it would happen etc.  Writing by 8-yr-olds always produces some rather entertaining results.  Behold:

"...you can't eat the same way you did on the Earth no water to drink.  no fruit to eat or make juice."

"...they would have nothing to eat and nothing to sleep on if they live up there and how can they brush there teeth it is just scary... ...it would be hard up there and scary but fun because we wouldent have to go to school do boring stof like we mostly always when we go to school."

-and I'm the "funnest teacher in the school" sheesh.

"I think liveing on the moon is cool but you will die.  Because in the moon there is no ocijin (oxygen).  And you will not have a bed, tv, house, couch, uvin to cook food..."

-the reason this one entertained me is because on paper the word "uvin" looks like "urin", so I was confused for a bit.

And now for the pièce de résistance:

"If people lived on the moon that will be the futer.  In 2100 thats when the futer starts picture of the futer at the back:

Just to clarify a little here, the giant space-aged civilization in the middle is the moon.  Evidently the two cities will be tethered together for safety - so as not to fly off the moon, as most of my children got the impression that there is no gravity on the moon.  The Earth is in the upper left-hand corner, the sun is in the middle, and there's a little dot off to the right - that's Mars.  Apparently Mars will be quite a bit closer to Earth in 2100.  Who knew?
