Has anyone dreamt of going to the Moon?

Question

As a hobby of mine, I have in effect built a Rocket in my workshop, at the bottom of my Garden.

It is a massive thing of Scientific Wonder, 18ft tall, and can comfortably house three men, some sandwiches, crisps and plenty of Warming Beverages.

The Rocket is made from Iron, copper and stout Oak. And has a little window to peer through and take some snapshots of Martians and such. So we can breathe on the Moon, I have bought some excellent Deep Sea Diving suits on Ebay, all made when things were made to last in 1900.

My question is, who would like to venture with me to the Moon?

Answer 1

I would love too. :] I'll bring some salad just incase.  We might run out of veggies.

Answer 2

I cannot join your expedition, because I currently own and reside on the Moon.

I will, however, prepare some cucumber sandwiches and barley wine in time for your arrival.

Perhaps we might organise an arm-wrestling competition.

Answer 3

oooohhh me please me please you sound like a guy i once met in a room that had no hard walls and you were allowed to lie looking at the ceiling all day with custard for breakfast dinner and tea and routine injections !!! we were good friends until he ran away last time i heard he had been seen at the bottom of a garden with a strange 18ft object !!!  

Answer 4

I would love to join you on this wizard trip you have organized, but unfortunately, looking at my diary I have a Club meeting on Friday next so I wondered how I would get back in time for that. Can I send my wife along (she can look after the catering arrangements) for the trip? she can stay as long as it takes.

Answer 5

Victorian Gentleman,

Be very careful or Wallace and that dog of his will be suing for copyright : ) He's a well known vexatious litigator and nothing like his TV persona.

How do I know? His lawyers made me destroy some special trousers I'd constructed from brass and copper with duck down quilt linings.

Good luck on your rip-snorting adventures, sir. Rather! What!

Answer 6

I would be glad to join you , I had planned to travel this week to outer space.... I need to get the little dipper to hold ice for my garden party .

Answer 7

2 points

Answer 8

I will send my man Cuthbertson over as a volunteer for your space craft, one is always going to be in need of servants, despite the locality. If there is insufficient fuel for the lift off for the return journey you may leave him behind, at 93 he is well past it and wont be missed. In fact you can conduct some scientific experiments such as 'how long can a human survive without air' don't go to the expense of a diving suit, an old goldfish bowl and a couple of water bottles of air will do him grandly. don't be afraid off giving him the occasional cuff at the back of the head to get him moving, he needs it now and again. Bon Voyage

Answer 9

Me, look outside I'm standing beside your rocket waiting!

Answer 10

ask jonathon king!lollol

Answer 11

While I confess a lack of confidence in the Rocket, I will enquire most earnestly after the Warming Beverages.

Answer 12

oh, but the moon is soooo passé don't you know? I have been vacationing on the outer fringes of the de kuyuper belt for years now, that's cool, and that's where you need to see and be seen. I would go to the moon with you for a very brief stopover out of curiosity but I would have to press on to more exciting places tout suite.

Answer 13

Well old chap i would think and 18 foot rocket for 3 people just wouldn't get to the Moon let alone into orbit, however maybe a 240 foot rocket made from aluminium & titanium, might get 3 people into orbit where perhaps you could refuel at the I.S.S., i would hope of course that interior would have a Jules Verne feel inside, I would think using a aqua-lung designed by Jacques-Yves Cousteau would be a better option than using a hand pump and breathing hose hooked up to a deep sea diving helmet and suit.

Sign me up good fellow.

Answer 15

Ooooo. Take me, take me! I'm just an itsy wee thing, so there will be extra room for nice warming beverages. I have faeries at the bottom of my garden, can they come too?

And do tell me that you'll be captivating your crew with your delightful stories all the way through. Raptures. x x

Answer 16

How do you expect to see martians on the moon. Your plan is flawed.

Answer 17

I would, but I have this journey to the center of the earth planned.  Raincheck?  I'd really like to visit your golf course.

Answer 18

No.There's enough aliens going about as it is
