Our Moon – A Human History | Rebecca Boyle
Wow, this is a fantastic easy to read insight into our nearest celestial neighbour; its creation, its role in our development and why it facinates and inspires us. It is worth reading just for these two sentences about the Apollo missions.
“How utterley odd that sentient pieces of Earth – because that’s all we are, really, bits of the planet remolded by time and sunlight – made a choice to send some of their brethren away from it. What a weird thing to do, just for the purpose of seeing what it was like, and saying it had been done.”
