	Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip To The Moon) (1902)
		Voyage dans la Lune, Le/A Trip to the Moon (France, 1902), the screen's first science fiction story, was a 14 minute masterpiece (nearly one reel in length (about 825 feet)), created by imaginative French director and master magician Georges Melies (1861-1938) in his version of the Jules Verne story.
		The image of the lunar capsule landing in the eye of the moon is a memorable sight and widely-recognized in cinematic history.
		Then, the stars are replaced by a lovely vision of goddess Phoebus (Bleinette Bernon, a music hall singer) sitting on a crescent moon (she is on the Moon and also sitting on the Moon?), of Saturn in his globe surrounded by a ring, and of two charming young girls holding up a star.

	Trip To The Moon, 100 Mil
		Eric Olsen, who is already set to pay $20 million for a trip to the International Space Station in October, is interested in a $100 million trip to the moon as well.
		The challenge of finding two passengers to pay $100 million each is probably greater than making a trip to the moon for that relative bargain cost, said Charles Lurio, independent private space flight consultant.
		Anderson said that the Soyuz is a very cost effective spacecraft; it uses what he described as "state of the art but off-the-shelf technology." While the $200 million is needed to cover both the mission and the necessary research and development, Faranetta said it should still be a money-maker for the Russian space program.

		A Trip to the Moon, or in its native language, Voyage Dans la Lune, is a twelve-minute science fiction film from French director George Méliès, who became a pioneer of early cinema with his innovative special effects techniques.
		Not surprisingly, A Trip to the Moon has one of the astronauts killing the king of the Selenites, which fits well with human nature.
		The ending of A Trip to the Moon is hilarious because the spacecraft and its crew manages to escape the Selenites and return to Earth by the craft "falling" back to the planet, which is impossible because of gravity.

	The Moon
		The Moon's gravitational attraction is stronger on the side of the Earth nearest to the Moon and weaker on the opposite side.
		Actually, the Moon appears to wobble a bit (due to its slightly non-circular orbit) so that a few degrees of the far side can be seen from time to time, but the majority of the far side (left) was completely unknown until the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 photographed it in 1959.
		There were three principal theories: co-accretion which asserted that the Moon and the Earth formed at the same time from the Solar Nebula; fission which asserted that the Moon split off of the Earth; and capture which held that the Moon formed elsewhere and was subsequently captured by the Earth.

		The idea behind returning to the moon will be to develop the capability to use it as a launch pad for deeper space exploration, as well as tapping resources on the lunar surface that could be used in those missions, Bush said.
		Also, NASA will begin sending a series of robotic missions to the moon beginning in 2008 to conduct research and prepare for future missions, and research will be conducted on the space station on the long-term effects of extended space travel on human physiology.
