Apollo 17

Well, in past decades we had the capability to send humans to the Moon.

Now we lost this ability, which needs to be learnt again before one could even dream about setting a foot on Mars.

This past is not that far away, and I am glad I discovered a pool of dream where I could dive in.
Here is the pool:

Apart from technical procedures and jargon (I almost wrote gibberish!), there are calm timespans where the lack of necessary activity relaxed everyone and digressions were started.
In these moments the very essence of such missions reveals itself and make the privileged astronauts looking back at our planet, stumbled by all the beauty and starting a fragmented yet continuous descriptions of what they see up there.

Each sentence is a dip of the unknown about ourselves. One could only envy their feelings right on those moments.
It all a dream. A very rational one.
