Some of the craters on the moon are very deep. When you're wearing a space
suit, it's a lot easier to use the escalator (remebering to stand on the
right!) than to climb up the emergency steps cut in the side of the crater.


So that's why the US space program was so expensive - they had to bring
a set of dogs and children, and spacesuits for them too, so the
astronauts could use the escalators...


And that's why they haven't been back, they're waiting for the
completion of the escalator repairs.
