A Trip to the Moon (Reaction Paper)

If I were present during the first screening of A Trip to the Moon given that I have the level of knowledge people had at that time (without the recent discoveries and technology now available to know what’s beyond the earth’s atmosphere), I would have thought that it’s that easy to travel outside the Earth and that it only takes a few arguments and hand-in-hand building of a simple capsule or container to do so – provided that you are a wealthy and an influential person. I would have also thought that it only takes a few minutes of travel to arrive at the moon.

The clip showed that the group of people who travelled to the moon were all men and I would have thought at that time that only men were allowed to join such journeys. They all seemed to treat the expedition like a typical out-of-town travel with ease and comfort.

Apart from Earth, the moon is also capable of sustaining life and those other creatures or beings existed as well in the moon that can also be threats to us humans. Despite this, human beings still stand at a higher intellectual level. Like the earth, the moon also has different kinds of environment that humans never imagined has existed.

Like how the group of men arrived, they can also leave easily bringing along with them one being from the moon. I would also have believed that the creature is also capable of cohabitation with humans when the group of men returned to the earth.
