Story: My Moon,Your Moon..........................

It was a beautiful morning of 27th April 2035.One of the historical day in history of Earth.Fifteen major economies existing on this earth including India,US,Russia,China,UK,Australia,France,Germany,Japan,South Africa,Pakistan,Italy,Brazil,Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have worked togather,first time ever,to build a spacecraft which will go to Moon and explore the possibilities of life on Moon.This Rocket will comprise of two Astraunauts from every country making a team of thirty Astraunauts.As the Best organization is NASA,so the Project team decided to develop the major portion of the Machine at NASA and some particular parts would be developed in different countries according to their Area of Excellence.Me and my friends were very curious about what's gonna happen???As the launch was about to take place at 10:30AM,I turned on my Television from 9:00AM as I didn't wanted to miss any of those rejuvanating moments.

Every preparation was completed but as it was a Space Exploration Project,a last check was mandatory.Due to this,the launch took place at 10:45AM and by the God's grace and never ending efforts of the personnel involved in the Project,it was successful.That 100M Jumbo,acclerated into the sky leaving behind huge amount of smoke and fire and heat and within few seconds,it went beyond the reach of World's Best Cameras.It was a fascinating experience watching it on TV.The Project was scheduled to be of Eighteen days.In the coming Eighteen days,the Astraunauts will collect samples from the surface of the Moon and look for life in every possible area of Moon.

Eighteen days of curiousity and desperateness came to an end.Finally,the Spacecraft returned succesfully to Earth on 16th May 2035.It was a day filled with Joy,Happiness,Emotions and Success for every person involved in this Project.Late in the evening,NASA released the final Report which informed that they have explored the possiblities of Life on Moon.To everyone's surprise,Report told that any Human being can survive on Moon with the help of some Gadgets.It also noted that they have found an area of about 3600 Km radius which is almost planar,which shows that construction is possible on Moon.They have also discovered reserviours of Water which they missed in previous attempts.Including the other technical and general facts,this astonishing and Earth rocking Report came to an end.

The Report was just enough to cause harassement and trouble on a Global scenario.Hundreds of Construction Companies from different countries approached the Project Forum ,in order to have a contract with them,in case any possibility regarding Infrastructure materialises.Some of the World's Best Scientific Instrument makers were in competition to achieve the requirements posed by the Gadgets,which were necessary for survival of life on the Moon.Surprisingly,many top Billionares and Trillionares of the Earth were in talks with the senior officials of the Project Forum,as they wanted to be one of the first Human Beings to reside on Moon and get their names registered for The Guiness Book of World Records.Many companies who have the business of Packaged drinking water wanted the access to huge reserviours on Moon for increasing the scope of their business from Global to Universal.As Food is always an important requirement,many Restaurant-Chain owners wanted to set up their branches on Moon to provide people with Moon-Healthy diet.Everything was possible if we land safely on Moon.Regarding this requirement,numerous Aircraft makers wanted the guidelines from the Scientists in manufacturing the first-ever Moon Carriers and they also promised a Two-Flight-a-day schedule once they succeed in their attempt.

During the meantime,a debate has already been started regarding the undertaking of the planar region which was surely going to be a profitable engagement.The Forum has gone through some solutions,but none of them was satisfactory.Few countries were demanding the space on Moon with respect to the space or ground area which they possesed on Earth.But the countries like Germany and Sri lanka were not satisfied with this solution.Second solution came in the form of a proposal from some countries that share on Moon should be disributed according to the growth of every country.But the countries like Bangladesh and Brazil turned down the proposal to the last layer of Soil.The Member countries of the Project seeking a solution were shocked as Non-member nations like New Zealand,Afghanistan,Iran,Iraq,Kuwait,Nepal and many others demanded their share on the pie called Moon.The point they stressed was,being a Member of the Earth,they too deserved space on Moon.After a few days of firy meetings and hot discussions the situation trascended from Verbal to Action.Non-member countries threatened the Members of starting a War against them.Members,in response,showed rigidity and firmness on their stand i.e. they have worked for the Project and their is no question of giving a share to Non-members who have not contributed in any sense.This Debate about "My Moon Your Moon" was setting the stage for the Third World War and a turmoil was awaiting our History.The U.N. stepped in to control the situation but faced enormous amount of resistance as it was very difficult to bring the Member and Non-member nations on common grounds.Everytime,U.N. tried a formal discussion or negotiation-related move,the complexity of the situation increased.Meanwhile,a problem was creeping in between the Member nations.As Construction companies,Water-Packaging firms,Scientific-Instrument majors,Restaurant-Chain owners and the interested Eminent personalities of the World increased the pressure,a cold war arose in between the Member nations.The Member Nations indulged in a fight as everyone wanted their country people to lead the aura of Moon Development and Establishment.

Earth was on fire,and the Global Unity and Understanding which we built along the centuries of Mankind was lost somewhere in the Space.As I turned off my TV set,after the evening news and went into the garden of my house,sitting on the chair,looking towards the Moon,I said,"I was not expecting this from You,Friend???".
