Respect The Astronomy Club (A Trip to the Moon)
Post Body
The Astronomy Club
At a meeting of the Astronomy Club, its president, Professor Barbenfouillis, proposes an expedition to the Moon. After addressing some dissent, five other brave astronomersāNostradamus, Alcofrisbas, Omega, Micromegas, and Parafaragaramusāagree to the plan. And so the Astronomy Club set out to become the first men to walk on the Moon, but what they find there defies expectation.
Gear
- The Club's plan is to shoot themselves to the Moon in a giant cannon, for which they construct a bullet-like capsule that the Club enters then loads into their cannon, which fires them all the way to the Moon (and hits the Man in the Moon in the eye, causing him to bleed)
- Transform telescopes into stools
- Transforms an umbrella into a mushroom
- A Club member blocks strikes from an alien's weapon with his umbrella
- The Club members are given awards upon their return home
Members
Resilience
- The Club members can breathe and move around unimpeded on the surface of the Moon with no protective gear
- This is likely a trait of the Moon rather than a special ability of Club members, but I have included it for posterity
- The Club members are knocked over but unharmed by some sort of explosion or eruption from the Moon's ground
Combat
- A Club member makes Moon aliens explode by hitting them with his umbrella
- This may well be a trait of the alien species
- A Club member picks up the alien king and slams him to the ground, causing him to explode
- A Club member kills more aliens with his umbrella
- A Club member kills an alien by kicking it
- A Club member survives being on the outside of the bullet capsule as it falls from the Moon back to Earth
