The question is "Would you WANT to use the NeverNever to get to the Moon or Mars or someone else like that?". :p
Dangerous enough places in the real world, what would be their reflection in the spiritual one?
...that is actually a really good question. If the NeverNever is attached to this world by emotions, does it even touch those places then? Man has been on the moon, but not yet on Mars, and as far as we know there is nothing else living there either. And if the likeness between the NeverNever and the real world is built upon emotions only, perhaps the moon would be a place of great triumph (though probably some fear as well).
I am a book nerd:
one question... How does harry do laundry? he can't use a washing machine and (i'm not sure, never had to use it) dry cleaning is expensive. ???
cass:
Harry probably does laundry-- either it got done by his Summer Court cleaning service, or Harry uses a laundromat. Washing machines are not, in general, complex and overly reliant on delicate electronics. Or, rather, they don't have to be, and those at a laundromat probably wouldn't be. Another alternative is that he could do his washing by hand. Yes, by hand-- they still sell mechanical 'washing machines' for use in a sink.

The laundromats near me are set up so that you can pay an attendant to load the clothes into the machines, or watch your laundry for you, if you can't stay there yourself for hours. Harry might take his laundry to someplace with a similar system.
Magnus:
"You think the dry cleaner can get this out?"
(...)
"The last time I took something stained by a slime golem to a cleaner, the owner burned his place down the next day and tried to collect on the insurance."
(From the beginning of It's My Birthday Too)
So Harry has used dry cleaning at least once. ;)
