A Space Program That Truly Goes Somewhere!

The Surface Of The Moon Is Like Nothing Here On Earth! It's Totally Lacking Any Evidence Of Life. It Has Lots Of Fine, Talcum-powderlike Dust Mixed With A Complete Variety Of Pebbles, Rocks, And Boulders. Many Pebbles, Fewer Rocks, And Even Fewer Boulders Naturally Make Up Its Surface. The Dust Is A Very Fine, Overall Dark Gray. And With No Air Molecules To Separate The Dust, It Clings Together Like Cement.

Most People Never Believed In The Real Possibility Of Going To The Moon, And Neither Did I Until I Was In My Twenties.

I Grew Up In A Country That I Thought Was Special. And It Was.
