To the Moon and Back

so quickly, and have brought so much. But at last, Japan, the United States and private companies plan to take people to the Moon: to study, to experiment, to be tourists or miners, or even to create a base from which we may send out ships into the vast darkness beyond our world. Apollo 11 began as a dream. Maybe these new plans will remain only words. But just like when, as a young man, I watched the Moon and thought, I am helping to send humanity there, and back again , tonight, as an old man, I will watch the Moon and think, Hello, old friend. Perhaps soon you and Earth’s family of nations will meet again . Bryan Sullivan, 2019
