Summary

Mystery Doug takes on a real kid's question -- "What would it be like to live on the moon?" -- and follows the clues. The moon has no air or liquid water and wild temperatures, so people would need spacesuits and sealed, supplied habitats. A quick five-minute watch to spark curiosity and kick off a conversation.
