Contents Introduction A Voyage to the Moon Note on the text Notes Introduction Yes, the moon can still make you catch your breath as it hovers there, a delicate crescent, against the stars on a cold winter’s night – other-worldly, enigmatic and magical – but you know that creatures of your kind have left their footprints there and even played golf on its silent, dusty surface.
