My Dad died half way through writing his moon memory – I have his notes and I know where it was going – but I can’t know all the detail, he used to wake me up to see shooting stars and stare at the moon, he bought me second hand books with forewords from Carl Sagan
My dad offered to look after my kids so I could study space rocks but other life crud got in the way – but he was willing to do that and did do that for my PGCert he thought I was more intelligent than him but I wasn’t I just got to stay at school
My dad told me stories and made up adventures, the moon has so many tales and I wish to tell you all of them as well and though we all look to the sky and see the same moon – for each and everyone of us it is something different, unique and personal
I hope to show these myriad of moons with the Moon Art Blast-Off and the longer duration sci-art projects such as the Moon Mega Make, there will be a lot of arty mooness over the next 24 or more hours
Lastly here is my dad as a little boy dressed resplendent in his favourite cosplay of the day – he is an astronaut before they were a reality – it’s time for some #moonmania and beyond
