THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON: Second blog entry; The spaceship and our first impressions of the moon.

At this point this two characters are really good friends, they constructed a spaceship made of Cavorite, this device had the shape of a sphere. And it had no controls, it just had a hatch to get inside, it had no seats for the weight only two seat belts, so it was really minimalistic.

“I perceived there was nothing to grip when the shock of our star should come, and realized that I should be uncomfortable for want a chair.

-Why have we no chairs? I asked

I didn’t like the spaceship I think it was a cheap way of resolve this part of the plot. Just a sphere; H.G Wells could certainly make a bigger effort in the creating this device. Even I could have done it better.

When both characters reached the moon, they crashed on the surface, of course the sphere was almost intact, I don’t like to get into details, but the way Mr. Bedford described the moon was really detailed, almost like a jungle, full of colors and different alien plants. Although the moon seemed a really cool place in Bedford´s description it is kind of unreal, and of course the moon had an atmosphere.

“It is a seed- said Carvor. And then I hear him whisper, very softly- Life.

Life! And immediately it poured upon us that our vast journey had not been made in vane, that we had come to o arid waste of minerals, but to a world that lived and moved! ... “
