I often imagine future school kids bored out of their mind on a field trip to visit Neil Armstrong's footsteps on a lunar museum. Their exasperated teacher trying to get them to pay attention and recognize the gravity of what they are seeing but they are too distracted playing mind-pokemon or whatever is cool in 2350 AD.


For me its not Neils' footsteps, but the actual multiple moon art exhibits, which I wonder about:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Museum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_Astronaut

I really wish I would be around to see the day those exhibits get their first visitors. I guess there will be a gangway route to take between all these spots, eventually.

I have hope for you, humanity. Don't screw it up.

EDIT: Oh I just remembered that the fine folks behind Artificial Museum[0] have already installed their exhibits on the moon .. can't find the link just yet (maybe its in bunker mode for now), but for those interested in paying a virtual visit to the Moons' first civilian art installations, keep an eye on these guys ..

So like in Futurama, where the Moon is a theme park.


will space-edition pokemon go be the only reason some people go to visit earth one day?


> recognize the gravity

Inherently lighter on the moon. ;)
