Just looking at the craters on the moon through my telescope is enough to cause my breath to catch. It is an awe-inspiring sight. Have often thought of how the previous moon walkers really felt when they saw the grandeur of a rising 'half-earth' as I have only seen in the photographs they brought back to earth.
All the science fiction novels I have ever read as a young man seem to be comming to life these last 50 years.
