The Only Way To Get Over Your Fear Of The Moon Is To Walk On It

It's okay to be afraid sometimes. It's a completely natural feeling that all of us experience. But we can't let fear dominate our lives. In my case, when it came to the one thing that scared me the most — that single fear that tormented me nearly every day — I knew the problem would only get worse unless I confronted it head-on. So, on July 21, 1969, I finally took the plunge. I conquered my fear of the moon once and for all by walking on it.

And if you struggle with a paralyzing fear of Earth's only natural satellite like I used to, then I urge you to do the same: Propel yourself into lunar orbit, execute a controlled descent, and plant your boots in the moon's powdery soil. Otherwise, that fear will gnaw at you forever...
