As long as people have known of the existence of the moon, they have sustained a terrible fear of it and the many things its presence implies. Many horrible legends stem from real experiences with the moon, including the well-known story of the monster called a "werewolf." These stories sprouted after a small group of children in the early town of Salem Massachusetts discovered a way to harness the deadly power of the moon. They transformed regular human beings into horrible ravaging beasts that slightly resembled massive wolves. Because these creatures stalked at night, people would wondered "where" the "wolves" were, thus the name we call them today. These stories have been considerably twisted by history, but one fact remains. The moon was behind the people's fears. During the Cold war, the world raced for the greatest power in order to rule. The Soviet Union and the United States began a "race for space" when they realized the moon held much greater power than any bombs they could create. The world feared the day when that incredible power was controlled by a single country. As Armstrong took his small step, mankind took a giant leap in fear. Throughout the world's history, the moon has gained quite a reputation. One of the deadliest and most horrifying things on earth is named after the moon. Why do we still have such a great fear of the moon today? Perhaps it is because we are all secretly lactose intolerant and the moon is made of cheese.
