Do you like the moon? These guys (turn your volume down LOW!) do.
So many words have been written about one moon or another. How many of these have you read?
"What, exactly, would happen to the Moon without the Earth?"
"What is the first thing we do when awe-inspiring vistas of some faraway moon are transmitted back by our little robot envoys? Why, we reverently name the craters, valleys, and other strange beasts discovered out there."
"Today, with space full of ships, colonies on the inner planets, and Earth's Moon so close that pilots on the Luna run sleep home nights, it is hard to imagine when 'flying to the Moon' was a figure of speech for the impossible, when men who thought it could be done were visionaries, crackpots."
"The moon was very bright tonight."
"The first of December had arrived! the fatal day! for, if the projectile were not discharged that very night at 10h. 48m. 40s. P.M., more than eighteen years must roll by before the moon would again present herself under the same conditions of zenith and perigee."
"Due to the way the ship was positioned above the planet they were supposed to be surveying and evaluating, they had visible moons on almost every side; three completely full ones above them, in relation to the ship’s rotation."
And how well do you know your moons?
