Another giant step for mankind.
Another great leap into the unknown.
I'm over the moon.
We're only in the first week of the new year and already we have the Ultimate Thule close encounter. From the first images I predict this object will eventually be revealed to be a captured comet.
Next up - a craft lands on the the far side of the moon.
I think it's wonderful.
When humankind puts its mind to it almost anything is possible. And what is more thrilling than the possibility of exploring the universe in which we have our being.
It's time for universal peace and for nations to work together in space.
The moon rings like a gong because there are no tectonic plates to break up moonquake vibrations.
It's now time for peaceful meditation and enlightened heads.
Let us therefore seize the moment.
A fraction of the money wasted on wars and weapons that could destroy life on Earth and send the few unfortunate survivors back to the stone age could open up ever more wonderful new horizons in space.
Let us put hate, rivalry and superstition behind us.
Let the nations of the world join together.
Let's do it.
Ad Astra.
J Arthur Rank. The gong was always banged before the start of their films. See China have landed on the moon today?
ReplyDeleteThey certainly have and the above is my tribute to them for this pioneering voyage. They have deployed a rover and other equipment. Interesting for you Dave is an experiment to try and grow potatoes. No, I'm not joking. I kid you not.
DeleteAh, spuds! I see you're up to speed at Northsider. Maybe they'll get round to opening a chip shop for passing ufo crews and passengers.
DeleteChipshop on the moon. That would make a great name for a film, rock group or a book.
ReplyDeleteI bet they have a polytunnel.
DeleteWhat about a Chinese chip shop on the moon?
DeleteOr noodles. Chipa was yesterday. Noodles here are selling like hot currant buns. There are three takeaways in one street not far away and they're always busy. Noodle freaks park their cars on the tram lines and rush in! Sometimes a tram comes along and they cop it. Could be a hefty fine or the car towed away to the pound or both.
DeleteHonestly, the first time I read the above I thought you were being sarcastic, so pessimistic am I about anything good happening. I apologize for not reading with an open mind! Hope, as E.D. said.
ReplyDeleteIt's a thing with feathers. Let's try some this year. Thank you, Shawn.
DeleteThe Chinese are wonderful. They will make a station on the far side of the moon and send men to live there. and one day there will be a burial plot and bones of man.
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese are over the moon! A perfect landing. And I'm there in spirit with them. Their amazing rover is running around and leaving its tracks behind.
DeleteHumankind is on the way.
And they're building a railway from China to Germany. They are undaunted.
