Host Dave Schlom finds a kindred spirit with Christopher Cokinos, author of the new book, Still as Bright: An Illuminating History of the Moon from Antiquity to Tomorrow. Both host and guest were deeply influenced by the race to the Moon in the 1960s and have lifelong passions for all things pertaining to our natural satellite.
Part personal memoir and mostly a tour de force of humanity's musings on the Moon from ancient times to the current state of lunar science and NASA's plans to return to the Moon with the Artemis Program, Still as Bright is a treasure trove of fascinating lunar tales from Galileo to Neil Armstrong. Cokinos is also a dedicated telescopic lunar observer who has a passion for learning the very real and rugged landscapes of the Moon. It's a fascinating and fun conversation for anyone who has ever wondered about our nearest neighbor in space.
