The moon!

What is the moon? People have been asking that question for thousands of years, and it’s only recently that we've been able to unmask it. From the moon landing on July 20th 1969 up until today we have been trying to fully understand the moon. We now know a lot about the moon and the effects that it has on us today. We know that the moon is 240,000 miles away and that the moon actually controls the tides on the earth, which makes sense because the moon has a gravitational pull too. The moon was created when a huge asteroid hit earth and a chunk of earth broke off but stayed within the gravitational pull of earth and the chunk of rock ultimately formed our moon. Some people think that the moon landing was a fake, and there is actual evidence to prove that but there is also a great deal of evidence to show that we did land on the moon, but we will probably never know for sure. All we know it that the moon has a great effect on the world we live in and has inspired people throughout time. Maybe one day we will have the technology and resources to be able to create a civilization that lives on the moon.
