In this episode of 'Aftersight', we take listeners on a journey through Rebecca Boyle's book, 'Our Moon', exploring the pivotal role this celestial body has played in shaping our planet and humanity. The narrative uncovers how the moon's influence stretches from the evolution of life and civilization all the way to modern science. The podcast wraps up with a look into how the moon could serve as a new frontier in the ongoing space race, perhaps becoming a potential natural laboratory or even a future settlement.
