Armstrong (moon)

Armstrong is one of the two moons of Cyprus, along with Einstein. It was named for Neil Armstrong, the first person to set foot on Earth's moon. The population of the moon is only about 50,000, despite its large size. This is due to its uninhabitability without large amounts of gear. However, it is a quite popular tourist destination for somewhat adventurous Cypriots. The cities are more commonly referred to as "bases," and are usually dome colonies, with the largest being Aldrin Base (pop. 16,433.) The next largest are Johnson Base (pop. 7,843,) and Collins Base (pop. 4,435.) The moon's sole spaceport is the Armstrong International Spaceport, located near the Aldrin Base, which has flights to and from all Cypriot spaceports. The frequency of these flights varies, but there is generally at least one flight a day from the spaceports, with the more major ones sometimes having over five flights to and from Armstrong in a single day. In addition, several other bases have smaller "moonports" which connect to the main hub. Most travelers to the moon come from the Alakina, Port Viktor, and Pueblo de Hojas spaceports on Cyprus. The moon is controlled by a union of several Cypriot nations. It is primarily rocky and cratered, much like Earth's moon.
