The moon is bland in color. I call it shades of gray. You know, the only color we see is what we bring or the Earth, which is looking down upon us all the time. And to find orange soil on the moon was a surprise.
Somebody would think I was trying to get favored treatment because my ancestors had the name Moon. And that’s a joke.
It’s a very typical UFO sighting. Carter said it changed color and, in the physical report, described it as being about the size of the moon. And he saw it with about twenty-five other people.
The connection to place, to the land, the wind, the sun, stars, the moon… it sounds romantic, but it’s true – the visceral experience of motion, of moving through time on some amazing machine – a few cars touch on it, but not too many compared to motorcycles. I always felt that any motorcycle journey was special.
In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought… I must put a roof on this toilet.
In winter, the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. Summer is more wooing and seductive, more versatile and human, appeals to the affections and the sentiments, and fosters inquiry and the art impulse.
As far as Europa goes, Europa very likely has an ocean under its surface. In that regard, Europa and Enceladus are on equal par. But on Europa, the ocean is at least several kilometers under the surface, and the moon is bathed in an intense radiation field.
I like to look at the skyline and the moon.
I like new experiences, so I want to promote the same among my colleagues, and this is why I decided to go on this adventure, because I believe going to the Moon will help me create something better.
When we’re on set, we kind of joke around, and when we’re rehearsing, we change up the scenes and make each other laugh. We lighten up the mood. The blooper reel is going to be amazing on ‘New Moon.’
I love to think that animals and humans and plants and fishes and trees and stars and the moon are all connected.
I will aim at the moon to reach the highest bounty.
I always wondered if you clone your wife and have the cloned wife on the moon and the real wife down here, would that be considered cheating?
I had no idea ‘Moon River’ would do so well. I was too busy working to think about it.
Moon rocks are OK when everyone is eating.
I mean astronomically, that one doesn’t even make sense. Because if you shoot for the moon, you’re not going to land on the stars. The moon is closer than all of the stars.
The only memory I have of playing the saxophone was in a school play. We put on ‘Grease,’ which is still one of my favorite movies. I played Danny, and I slid out on my knees and played a really out-of-tune ‘Blue Moon.’
I always believe shooting for the stars, and at the very least, you can land on the moon.
I would pretty much like to forget the music that happened to me between the ages of eight and 11, so I’m going to say the first album I bought was the special edition of ‘Dark Side of the Moon.’
I don’t go along with going to Moon first to build a launch pad to go to Mars. We should go to Mars from Earth orbit. We have already been to the Moon; we’ve already practiced.
We didn’t slow down, unlike the others, when we got to the moon because we needed its gravity to get back, so we hold the altitude record. I never even thought about it. Records are only made to be broken.
I didn’t go into the NASA program to pick up rocks or to go the moon or anything else. I went in there because I was a military officer, and that was the next notch in my profession.
Nobody can take those footsteps I made on the surface of the moon away from me.
It hadn’t really percolated through my brain that I was going to see real, live TV from the surface of the Moon, and boy, oh, boy, had that Saturn V launch been exciting! And then, there it was – late at night, sitting up, watching, and there was Neil Armstrong actually standing on the surface of the Moon.
I actually started making tank tops under the name Kitty Moon many, many years ago, but I just didn’t have the time to fully devote to it. Now that we don’t go on the road as much, I have a better ability to focus on a line; that’s why I started Total Skull.
Titan is Saturn’s largest moon, and, until Cassini had arrived, there was the largest single expanse of unexplored terrain that we had remaining in our solar system.
The child often sees only what he already knows. He projects the whole of his verbal thought into things. He sees mountains as built by men, rivers as dug out with spades, the sun and moon as following us on our walks.
When Kennedy said, ‘Let’s go to the moon,’ we didn’t yet have a vehicle that wouldn’t kill you on launch. He said we’ll land a man on the moon in eight years and bring him back. That was an audacious goal to put forth in front of the American people.
I played in ‘From the Earth to the Moon,’ working with Tom Hanks. He is a great guy, very smart.
Vatican II and the Space/Information Age began in the same eye blink of history, with John XXIII’s opening speech of Vatican II on Oct. 11, 1962, following John F. Kennedy’s call for a round trip to the moon a month earlier.
The moon is very rugged.
You can look up, you can see the stars, the moon and the sun, and you wonder: How does it all work? I didn’t have the answers, but I was thinking about all this floating amongst the stars. That is my objective.
Point-to-point transit via low orbit could dramatically speed up international flights, connecting the world even further. And safe, consistent space travel opens up the possibility of commercial space stations, trips to the moon and exploration beyond.
I don’t believe in the moon landing conspiracy theory. I don’t believe in Big Foot.
One day I would love to do rock a gig on the moon – how rad would that be? Isn’t Richard Branson flying planes to outer space? Motley Crue could be the first band to play on the moon.
For a country like ours that needs to stay ahead of the world or go under, we must do great, ambitious things – like going to the moon – to survive.
Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.
It’s hard to see your dad once in a blue moon.
Before I left home for drama school in England, my father took me outside one night and told me that wherever I was, the moon would shine on both of us. Months later, walking in London, I’d look at the moon and feel his love. Now I’ve shared the ritual with my own kids.
Myths are stories that explain a natural phenomenon. Before humans found scientific explanations for such things as the moon and the sun and rainbows, they tried to understand them by telling stories.
Organizing healthcare information is a daunting task, but it is not an impossible task. We’ve had people walk on the moon. This is a lot more doable.
I was inspired by the men who walked on the moon. It really was my inspiration, I think, you know, as a kid of 9 years old – I know I’m dating myself, but – I thought, ‘What a cool job!’
Shoot for the moon – if you miss you’ll end up in the stars.
When I was 5 years old, we had nothing in the village. One day, in front of my house, some soldiers in a big Cadillac started to do a picnic. I looked at them like they were coming from the moon. I remember they gave me a box of rice pudding – that, for me, was the American Dream.
When you’re a child, the most important thing is to be able to live a life of comfort. You want to be sure that the moon goes up at night and the sun comes up in the morning and dad comes home from work.
We could see that he was a charismatic guy who jumps over the moon and is very competitive, but nobody could have predicted what he would become to our culture.
Moon’s’ a good movie.
Within NASA, the shuttle is perhaps the least-groundbreaking project. Recall that Apollo was about creating brand-new technologies that did something unprecedented – putting men on the moon. The shuttle is, by comparison, a relic designed to make going into orbit routine.
I can hold a cup of sake on a full moon in Japan, and the reflection of the moon in that little cup can make me feel so enthusiastic about beauty. That one good, magical moment can give me enough to create other things like the teardrop earring or necklace.
Supplying fuel for a Mars expedition from the lunar surface is often suggested, but it’s hard to make it pay off – Moon bases are expensive, and just buying more rockets to launch fuel from Earth is relatively cheap.
The next humans to walk on the moon may be Chinese. Only China seems to have the resources, the dirigiste government, and the willingness to undertake a risky Apollo-style programme. If Americans or Europeans venture to the moon and beyond, this will have to be in a very different style and with different motives.
Mars is a long ways away. The moon is only 240,000 miles, but Mars is in the millions. It’s too risky without spending more time going to the moon.
If you want your hair to be thicker, cut it when the moon is about to be full – a heavy, full, waxing moon. Do not cut it when the moon’s waning.
