Apparently, tonight is a sturgeon moon.

I have no idea what that means.

Don't forget it's another sturgeon moon tonight. Excited

August: Sturgeon Moon

The Full Moon in August is named after North America’s largest fish, the sturgeon.

Sounds a bit fishy to me.

NASA has fired a rocket at the moon. gasp

It seems to be practise for sending people back there. gasp

My favourite bit of moon landings is when they walk around like this: bounce

I feel like the Hall of the Wendigo should launch a moon mission. Is it expensive?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Aug 27, 2022 9:54 pm

It doesn't look that far away. It can't be that hard.

Looking at the moon, it looks to be about the same distance away as Rotherham.

That's about eight miles.

You could probably get to Rotherham in an Uber for about £10.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Aug 27, 2022 9:55 pm

I wonder how much it'd cost to get to the moon by Uber?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Aug 27, 2022 9:55 pm

I'll type it into the app and find out.

The app's taking forever to open. rant

Maybe I should have used Deliveroo instead.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Aug 27, 2022 9:59 pm

I have got the app open.

It is refusing to make me an offer for a trip to the moon.

I shall try to be more specific. I shall type in, "The Sea of Tranquillity."

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Aug 27, 2022 10:00 pm

It has offered to take me to the Sea of Tranquillity. cheer

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Aug 27, 2022 10:00 pm

But is not quoting me a price. Colbert

According to the Internet, the moon is 226,000 miles away. Therefore, it is further away than Rotherham. rant

The Uber fare to Meadowhall, from here, is £15.32.

That means a trip to the moon should cost £18,696,528.

The Internet tells me that the first moonlanding cost $28 billion.

That makes Uber considerably cheaper.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Aug 27, 2022 10:11 pm

That's assuming I use UberX, and not Exec.
