Walking on the Moon


I asked my good friend Drax Ember to pick out a location to explore in SL and soon we were walking on the Moon! Drax had picked the Lunar Exploration Zone Daden Space sim owned by Corro Moseley (David Burden in real life).

At the entry point you can pick up a HUD to wear and either a free space suit or a link to xstreet, so that you could buy one. We opted for a free suit and put on the bulky outfits, which had shiny black visors. It is requested that you wear a spacesuit to enter the main part of the sim, and by doing so, you do feel that you fit into the scene of the Appollo landing site very well, so it is worth wearing it.

Teleporting over to the main lunar landscape we could see the lunar module in the distance. The moon craters are all marked out and there are camera points to touch so that you can see pictures of the real moon surface on the HUD you are wearing.

You really get the feeling of the isolated grey lunar landscape as you look back at the earth in the dark sky, and it’s a great place for people who are interested in space travel to visit.

  1. Very nice sim. Well done and quite different from the everyday, run-of-the-mill sims in SL.

    The only thing that could have made it better would be if they streamed "Blue Moon" by the Marcels in as background music!!
