A man in Wales, UK, saw a bright stationary light on the sky and got scared. He thought this was a UFO. As a concerned citizen, he called the police to notify them of the eminent alien invasion. The police upon arrival discovered that the bright object was the moon!
The police released the official transcript in an effort to stop people calling 999 (emergency number in the UK) for silly things:
Control: “South Wales Police, what’s your emergency?”
Caller: “It’s not really. I just need to inform you that across the mountain there’s a bright stationary object.”
Control: “Right.”
Caller: “If you’ve got a couple of minutes perhaps you could find out what it is? It’s been there at least half an hour and it’s still there.”
Control: “It’s been there for half an hour. Right. Is it actually on the mountain or in the sky?”
Caller: “It’s in the air.”
Control: “I will send someone up there now to check it out.”
Caller: “OK.”
After the police patrol car arrives, the script reveals the exchange between the control room and the police officer sent to the scene.
Control: “Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?”
Officer: “Yes, it’s the moon. Over.”

Papernauts: Send Your Name To The Moon
NASA’s new service is here to take anyone to the moon! Anyone can qualify as age, physical abilities or other issues are now in the past. But there is a small problem, only your name can go to the next lunar mission!
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is set to go and collect data for future possible landing and outpost sites for the Constellation program. It is going to carry a chip, with peoples names, and float around the universe for ever as the LRO will never return to Earth. The good thing is that you will be entitled to a nice NASA certificate that shows that your name is somewhere out there!

Send The Dead In Space
From the title you might have guessed what this post is about 
. Celestis is a pioneer in the funeral home services and now proposes space travels.
Starting from their cheapest service that costs $695 a special urn with 1gr of the dead person’s ashes inside, can start a short space voyage and then end up on earth. The Lux option starts from $12,500 and is a journey to the vast space with no return. But the most interesting service is burial on the moon!

Lunar Legacy: Send Your Picture to the Moon
In 1972 Charles Duke during his trip to the moon left behind a picture of him and his family. Today, after 36 years, the photograph remains intact for the generations to come.
Today the X-Prize foundation, Google and the “Lunar Legacy” program, give us the possibility for anyone to send his photos on the moon for only $10.
This time our photos will be all put into a DVD (or more if that is what it takes). Although in the pas there have been moon missions where a range of multimedia has been left behind, this is the first time that Internet users will have the chance to send something of theirs.
Till now there are about 500 photos gathered for the next moon trip.
I wonder who will be the one to see the DVD over there? I don’t think the aliens are so advance, they are probably still using VHS.
Anyway if you have $10 to spare give them as its for a good cause; the funding of space exploration.
Antigravity boots
This is a new gadget that will offer you a unique experience, but you need to tolerate all the weird looks form the people that pass you by in the street wondering about your mental state!
These antigravity boots are the most economic (at the moment) thing to make you feel how it is on the surface of the moon or something. You do not actually fly but your footsteps are lighter and you can hop around.
Their price is 95 GBP…if you are interested.
Nevertheless Zara in the video below did not manage to experience the antigravity effect
