It’s more like an assignment, I am NOT asking you to do it for me, if you’d like to because it SEEMS fun, go ahead.
I have to this for science
Task: You are a member of a team designing advertising brochures for Milky Way Travel Centre, a new company that is taking humans into space. To help promote these new travel destinations, you have been asked to design a travel brochure about ONE solar system planet or moon that Milky Way Travel Centre will venture to.
I have chosen to do the Moon, for this assignment.
Research the selected planet or moon by finding out what the conditions are like at your destination: Keep in mind, I’ve chosen the Moon,
Need to know:
* Size (diameter and mass compared to Earth)
* Materials within the internal core
* Seismic activity
* Atmospheric conditions (temperature, moisture, clouds, dust storms, solar radiation levels, gas levels, oxygen, nitrogen ETC. Can the people visiting breathe without a space suit? (i already know that!)
* Distance from Earth (Kilometers and ‘months’)
* Conditions aboard space ship
* Equipment they’ll need
* How much luggage
* Geological features
* Day lengths
Travel details
* How much will the trip cost (its gotta be BIG)
* Why is it so expensive
* What kind of recreational activites will be included
Thanks in advance.
There are already commercial moon trips planned:
You will get most of your information on these sites.
The moon details you can get on any space site.
Good luck!

internal core: see this picture for help:
seismic activity is low almost insignificant. It is 100 millionth of earths. The largest being for on richter scale, with an avergae of 1-2.(see source 2 for more info on that)
Atmospheric conditions: During the lunar day, the surface temperature averages 107°C, and during the lunar night, it averages -153°C.
Distance from earth: 384,403 km
This is all i can help u with, i’m not planning ur project for u.
Goodluck! See source for more moon info! best of luck =D
My suggestion would be:
Watch the movie WALL E.
It’ll help.
