This this trip to the 🌒 moon was exorbitantly expensive, but still Sayali's mother had sent her on the trip .'

In our childhood we could not even think of such long distance trips ! The longest trip meant going to Europe. If you are getting this opportunity, make the most of it' . Said mummy.

'Oh!Mummy, Neha's grandmother was saying that in their childhood, the longest trip for school children used to be only upto Delhi or Kolkata . It seems so funny. Isn't it Sayali laughing. Remembering the incident made her laugh even now.

Now the shuttle was getting closer and closer to the moon. Then it started orbiting the 🌒 moon .In every in every 32 minutes, the shuttle completed one revolution around the 🌒 moon .Light and darkness followed each other in quick succession .The dome shaped settlments on the moon which resembled the igloos of the Eskimos were now visible.

After sometime, Sayali's shuttle made a slow, measured and safe landing on the 🌒 moon. The door of the shuttle was opened and the children were escorted and through airtight tunnel to the settlement at the Neil Armstrong base .
