outer space

I was always interested in science. Somewhere I saw a textbook with a drawing of a cannon shooting a cannonball into orbit around the earth, to explain escape velocity. I was convinced that the moon had been shot out of a cannon to orbit the earth thereafter.

I used to love to stare at the moon when I was younger. My mum told me if I point at the moon, my ear would drop off / be cut off.
I had visions of a moon man (obviously with a face like the moon) coming down and slicing off my ears with his moon knife.

I'm 22 now. I still won't point at the moon.

When i was about 7. I thought that after space was a giant wall of bricks and lots of millitary guarding it. So i spent loads of days wondering what is behind this wall? My answer was: Heaven.

I used to believe that the light switch in my room controlled the sun, and when I turned out my light before going to bed, the sun would go out too.
