outer space

I told my brother the Moon was actually a giant's head. That two giants were battling and one lopped off the head of the other and threw it into the sky, and that's why you see a face on the Moon. He believed it for a couple hours, until our Dad interfered.

I USED TO BELIEVE THAT THE MOON EXISTED FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF EATING ANY SIBLINGS THAT WOULD FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER.

I used to belive that if you travelled up the outer space, you would in the end come up from the water at a beach in annother universe

I used to believe that my parents once took me to the moon on vacation. We piloted our own spacecraft, and I was very proud over this accomplishment. A great dissapointment when the teachers and kids in kindergarden didn't believe me....

My grandmother had a swimming pool. She told me that if we went swimming at night, and it was a full moon, we could get a moon tan. I asked her if that were true, why didn't they sell moonscreen?

When I was little I always saw a 'woman in the moon', not a man. When other people would talk about the man in the moon I thought they were tricking me or being mean to the woman by calling her a man. I still see a woman in the moon.

I used to get really worried if I could see the moon out during the day, like a few hours before sundown. I thought that it would use up all its light during the day and not have enough light to shine through the night.

When I was a child, I believed that the sun turned into the moon at night and that the moon became the sun during the day.

I use to believe that the stars at night were peep holes and people in heaven were looking down through them to check on us here on earth!

Jesse Kleinpeter

I used to believe, when we drove home at night that when you could see the moon, he was following us home and even once I thought he winked at me.

As a child I used think if I jumped too high on a trampoline I'd be sucked up into outer space.

I never knew that the moon revolved around the earth until I was in my early thirties...and only then, because I noticed
one night that the moon had moved. I must have missed that day of school.

I used to believe that we lived inside the earth instead of on it and that rockets headed for space had to break through the "top" of the earth first.

My 7 year old daughter was watching the news with me when they mentioned that the Mir Space Station would be "crashing down tonight". She was almost hysterical, certain that it was going to fall directly on her bed.
