FACT 3: Fly me to the Moon

I have always been really interested in space. Today something caught my eye and I just had to read about. I was on facebook and I was randomly going on friend's pages and I found a link on my friend Ashlinn's page. It was about the moon, so I checked it out. There are these things called lava tubes on the moon.
"....scientists who say they've discovered a protected lunar "lava tube" -- a deep, giant hole -- that might be well suited for a moon colony or a lunar base.....Any intact lava tube could serve as a shelter from the severe environment of the lunar surface, with its meteorite impacts, high-energy UV radiation and energetic particles, and extreme diurnal temperature variations," (cnn.com).

That is really cool. Sooo anybody want to come to the moon with me?
