We have video games now. We don't need to go anywhere.

After you're done with that, try the Face on Mars:

science.nasa.gov

The Face on Mars Trail Map
by Jim Garvin
Chief Scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program

Hike length is approximately 5.5 km or 3.6 miles one way, with a total elevation gain of nearly a thousand feet. Rating.... easy at start and midsection, with some very steep sections. Take plenty of water and oxygen.

NOTES: Starting to the SOUTH, away from the Face (hereafter FOM), the hike begins with a walk to the scree slopes at the south base of the feature, and then moves to the right (east) around the base of the FOM, and then to the NNW up to a breach in the feature about midway through the eastern middle. At this point there is a passage up the east flank of the feature, and the hike takes this route, passing between the two ridge-like prominences that outlie the eastern "battlements" of the FOM... then the hike traverses a smoother patch before it turns and skirts the summit region before finding a circuitous path to the upper reaches of the FOM (where there is a flat, bright circular patch about 100 m in diameter).

I counted 110 disaster films and 6 apocalypse films just on that one face of the moon. How are we alive on this rock, again?

Does anyone know a good Lunar Real Estate Broker? I would like to purchase about 640 acres up there. I hear once you get up there, the cost of living is close to zero. Because you'll be dead real soon.
