When I was about 3, my parents took me to a museum. There was a display that consisted of a small alcove with a large model of the Moon suspended in it. The walls of the alcove were pitch-black and dotted with stars. Dad asked me if I wanted to touch the Moon and feel the craters. I was really excited, until he lifted me over the railing so I could reach the model. I looked down and saw more blackness and stars, and concluded that I was being dangled over empty space. I freaked out, pleading with Dad to not drop me into outer space!
