...last of the moon men are back; the gantries are idle now, stark and skeletal against the Florida sky. On the moon there are flags from the earth, and on earth there are pieces of the moon. The Apollos have passed from the evening news into an assured place in history. They have opened a chestful of scientific riches that researchers will need years to assay fully. They have not solved the problems of the earth, nor were they meant to. But, as Bradbury suggests, they may have provoked man into asking anew some of the old questions about...

...Complicated. The stark isolation of the place made her feel cut off from things. "When my girl friend and I quarrel and she wants to go away and she is all packed," Bergman told one interviewer matter of factly, "everything is always too complicated. First she has to drive by a very complicated way through the woods. Then the ferry boat leaves only on the hour. From there she has to find a flight. So she ends up staying...
