Funny holidays - Day of flights to the moon (imaginable and unimaginable)

Baron Munchausen is famous for his adventures, which included flying a cannonball and visiting the moon. In order to get to the Earth's satellite, the hero of the stories of R.E. Raspe planted Turkish beans. When they grew to the skies, Munchausen climbed them to the moon. Other literary heroes also covered this distance of 400 thousand kilometers. In “Dunno on the Moon,” two representatives of the short people, Dunno and Donut, end up in a hijacked spaceship inside the Earth’s satellite. Based on the fantastic stories of the Soviet writer N. Nosov, a cartoon was made in 1964. In July 1969, a team of American astronauts who arrived on the Apollo 11 spacecraft quite realistically landed on the surface of the Moon. Although, even after decades, disputes about this and 8 other NASA expeditions do not subside. Proponents of conspiracy theories are convinced that the video of the landing of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and other astronauts was filmed in a pavilion on Earth by director Stanley Kubrick. When talking about the night luminary, we always mean its occult component. It’s not for nothing that the devil from “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka” by N.V. Gogol decided to steal the month from the sky in order to prevent the blacksmith Vaikule from getting to his beloved at night. The silver planet is associated with otherworldly forces, mysticism and the supernatural. It is no coincidence that wolves howl at the moon, and witches perform their witchcraft rituals on the full moon. The mysterious satellite, which always faces the Earth with one side, intrigues and beckons with its inaccessibility. That is why in many languages ​​the phraseological unit “Get the Moon from the Sky” appeared, which means the fulfillment of a cherished desire. The silver planet is associated with something unreal and unattainable. “You care about her like you care about the Moon!” - friends say to a friend who is unrequitedly in love. A fun holiday is designed to reverse this negative trend and make the night luminary accessible. February 7th is the Day of Flights to the Moon (imaginable and unimaginable). The night star beckons in a figurative and literal sense. It becomes a magnet for people suffering from moon sickness. Pathological wakefulness and sleepwalking are usually observed during the full moon, when the light of the disk is especially bright. The Silver Planet is beautiful and unexplored, so it attracts the eyes of earthlings. Purchasing a plot of land on the Moon allows you to get a little closer to your dream of visiting the Earth’s natural satellite. Anyone can buy a standard plot of 40.4 acres or more on its surface. The sale of plots is carried out by the Lunar Embassy, ​​opened in 1980 in the USA. In honor of the holiday on February 7, you can buy a certificate for the purchase of 1 acre of the night luminary or dedicate poetry to it. And also - to write a science fiction story, the main character of which fulfilled his old dream and flew to the moon.
