The Story of Project McMoon's - As Reported in Italy

La luna nel forno - La storia del progetto McMoon, Wittgenstein

"Nello spazio nessuno puo sentirti urlare". Non c'e atmosfera, e il suono non si propaga. Nemmeno sulla luna. Lo schianto contro la superficie lunare di quei cinque accrocchi grandi come un chiosco dei gelati avvenne nel silenzio. Di loro non restarono che i racconti. Questa storia era cominciata prima. Il primo Lunar Orbiter fu lanciato nello spazio il 10 agosto 1966. A bordo non c'era nessuno. La sua missione era di fotografare la superficie lunare in preparazione dello sbarco dell'Apollo 11, che sarebbe avvenuto tre anni dopo. Allo stesso scopo, altri quattro apparecchi simili furono inviati intorno alla luna nei mesi successivi."
