Luna or Mars ?
Raoul — (archived)

Eternal debate, which one is the next goal?

There are still undone things on the Moon, like the first woman to go there, the first night stay, the first farside expedition.
One way is to go to one of the poles: the Earth and the Sun would be very low above the horizon or even below the horizon, depending on a short trip (plus the ice in the vicinity).
I'd love to see a sunset and total blackness appear in our eyes:after sunset, we'd put our visor up and stars will appear one after the other and after 10 minutes, the whole milky way would shine and numerous other galaxies! At that moment, the Earth should be below the next hill and we would not be in contact with home. I'd ask the Moonmobile driver to turn all lights off and then the fun will start!
