Read in December, 2010

This is the continuation of the story "from the earth to the moon". It was written in a different era obviously, when the thoughts of travel to the moon and outer space travel were still of a nature of almost romantic fantasy. Unfortunately, we have become caloused to such endeavors as they now occur so frequently.

For some readers, the painstaking detail of the geography of the moon as described by our travelers may seem monotonous, boring and even trivial. Again, this was written for another time when such details were simply not thought about or described anywhere in any detail.

I loved the story. Alas, to live in a time when such travel was a fantasy.
