The thing about a supermoon is that it is enlarged enough for a person to imagine what it would be like to live there. That's about to be a reality since NASA has decided to tell the world that they have found water on Mars. They have known this for quite some time, but I am glad that they have decided to release the news.
Of course there is the group that believes the secret military of this country already has colonized both the moon and Mars, but for the rest of us who don't get to see much evidence of living on an extraterrestrial body, the supermoon represents the awe and wonder of space travel and space living. It's a good thing that the possibilities are opening up since our world will be at 7 million occupants in the not-so-distant future. Food and water will be at a premium.
I will probably not live long enough to do any space living or traveling, but I wish I could sit in a spaceship soaking in the splendor of looking back at Earth, anticipating the trip to the new planet, and gazing at the majesty of its first glimpse as it would draw closer to our landing. I would love the feeling of being some of the first to ever do this and that a crowd would probably follow. I am just a trailblazer at heart.
