A Sunday Times must read book of 2019 'An out-of-this-world read
... brilliant and compelling. Morton is a high-octane British
science journalist, and every chapter is littered with material
that strikes, amazes or haunts ... this is a book filled not just
with a lifetime's knowledge of its subject but with a lifetime's
suppressed excitement.' James McConnachie, Sunday Times Every
generation has looked up from the Earth and wondered at the beauty
of the Moon. 50 years ago, a few Americans became the first to do
the reverse - with the whole world watching through their eyes. In
this short but wide-ranging book, Oliver Morton explores the
history and future of humankind's relationship with the Moon. A
counterpoint in the sky, it has shaped our understanding of the
Earth from Galileo to Apollo. Its gentle light has spoken of love
and loneliness; its battered surface of death and the cosmic. For
some, it is a future on which humankind has turned its back. For
others, an adventure yet to begin. Advanced technologies, new
ambitions and old dreams mean that men, women and robots now seem
certain to return to the Moon. What will they learn there about the
universe, the Earth-and themselves? And, this time, will they stay?
