“Moon is the touchstone of the human future. Instead of searching for and speculating about life elsewhere, we will put it there. Forthwith, civilization will be three-dimensional, and life will be polyglobal. Living at the ethereal shores of heliocentric space, the Selenians will be the CosmoPolynesians of the solar system, navigating between worlds. They will build the bridge between a dim past under terrestrial skies, where the great legends of human emergence tower, and a deathless civilization in a stellar future whose shadows beckon and long to be given substance.”
