High above
\nthere is the Moon,
\ncold and quiet,
\nno air, no life,
\nbut glowing in the sky.<\/p>\n

Here below
\nthere are three men
\nwho close themselves
\nin special clothes,
\nwho–<\/em>click–lock hands
\nin heavy gloves,
\nwho–<\/em>click–lock heads
\nin large, round helmets.<\/p>\n

It is summer here in Florida,
\nhot, and near the sea.
\nBut now these men are dressed for colder, stranger places.
\nThe walk with stiff and awkward steps
\nin suits not made for Earth.<\/em><\/p>\n

This outstanding book tells an amazing story, reads like poetry, is full of interesting facts, and is beautifully presented. It is not a short book, but reading it aloud is a pleasure.<\/p>\n
