Before you say, NO, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDES ROCKETS. THIS WILL USE A MORE MINECRAFTY-LIKE OPTION TO NOT RUIN THE GAME. AND I KNOW THERE IS A MOD FOR THAT, I WANT THE MOON DIMENSION AT VANILLA MINECRAFT.
-----
After reading The Sky Dimension article in the Minecraft Wiki, something popped in my mind. "We got The Overworld, The Nether, The Ender and The Skylands(In 1.6-1.7). Why not The Moon?".
-----
To get there, you must explore the ruins of The Strongholds. In it, you must hunt chests to find Spring pieces. You must find atleast 2. When you did, you just gotta place them in this order:
= Spring particle
And you will get a Spring.
-----
Now, to get to The Moon, you gotta use the spring when it is Midnight, that means, when The Moon is positioned right above you. When it is, you just gotta jump on the Spring, and done - you are launched high in layer 128 and beyond. When you reach layer 130, you will get warped to The Moon Dimension.
However, we all know that if you go unprepared, you will suffocate to death. To prevent that, you must use an astronaut clothing. Unfortunaly, it is too advanced, and it will ruin Minecraft. So, you should only use the helmet, like some games do. The helmet is crafted like this:
= Glass Pane
Just place it in your helmet slot and done - you got yourself a helmet. It works fine in The Moon and even underwater.
-----
Now, everyone thought the Moon was made out of Cheese. Unfortunaly, it isn't, meaning you can't eat The Moon. It is made out of Stone, and contains some ores. Mainly Iron ore, but also contains Gold, Redstone and more rarely Diamond. You may find some crater, and maybe even some meteors. These meteors are useful ; They usually contain Iron and Diamond inside them.
Now, there are some Minecrafters who tried to reach it, but ended up forgetting their second Spring to get back Home. They died of hunger, and the only thing that left was their bases. They usually contain a lot of goodies, but some contain few to no goodies.
-----
You may be thinking The Moon is empty. But there are some Aliens that roam The Moon. Unfortunaly, these aliens are not sapient, so you are still alone(unless you are in Multiplayer). You can find some aliens called "Three Eyes", that look like a Pig, but they contain 2 horns, and their mouth got some spikes comming out of them, and of course, they got 3 eyes comming out of them. They are hostile to creatures from their lands, but they don't attack strangers, meaning they're Neutral. They should drop Alien Jelly that could be used to brew some Potions of Heaviness.
You can find another crazier beast called "Four Heads". It is a green beast from the same size of a Cow, and of course got four heads. They can be milked for Alien Liquid. When drinked, strangely they cause an adrenaline effect that causes your speed to double. That could be useful when trying to escape a Creeper or any worse mob, like a Blaze or a Ghast. It is Passive and drops Leather.
Now, there must be some baddies thinking "Man, The Moon will be a so safe place for newbies to hide.". I should introduce you an beast called "Man Hunter". It's properties are like a Sheep's: Wooly, can be Sheared and dyed. It starts with Red wool. It got a face similar to The Sheep's(It just got one eye). However, it is making you THINK it's peaceful. When you turn your back(seriously. When you look at it, it keeps idle), this thing will hunt for your life. It will start biting your back, trying to sink it's teeth into your skin. It drops a Red Alien Wool block. It can be used to make a couch or to make decoration.
Now, there is an near-sapient Alien thingy that might lead into an Alien civilization. It is the Alien Person. It looks like a human, but shrunk, and his head is bigger. He is orange, and got black eyes. He drops Alien Jelly just like Three Eyes.
-----
The moon don't owns a Day-Night cycle, but it got something alike. When you arrive at The Moon, it will most likely start with Earth at the top of the screen. If you stay long enough at The Moon, Earth will fade through The Moon's horizon. Then, The Sun will come. However, since The Moon got no atmosphere, the Sun will not cause the sky to get blue or something, it will just increase the light level a bit, which was of 4. It will increase to 8. Man Hunters will burn to death when The Sun is up. Nothing more special will happen other than sunlight and Man Hunters dieing.
-----
Now, to return home, you must place your spring on the floor, then wait until Earth is right at the top of you, then jump. Just be carefull for not placing right where the other Spring is, or you know what will happen.

I don't seem to find Spring pieces in TooManyItems, nor there is an article on the Minecraft Wiki stating there is a Moon dimension.
EDIT: I want it in VANILLA Minecraft, not as a Mod.
