wasn't it Prelude to Space ?
I think Earthlight stuck in my mind because it was set on an already-colonised Moon ("colonised" might be overstating it, but there was at least one pemanent base and some mining operations) and also it was one of the first Clarke novels that I read. |

I think i remember Earthlight. Was that the one where this earth bloke starts living on the moon, sorta half adapts and goes native, then at the end there's an earth\moon war between spaceships and a new plasma beam weapon, then the moon gets political independence ?
I like the early clarke novels, the mid period ones like 2001 have pretentious mumbo jumbo, but then he returned to form and did good stuff with later novels ( NOT the ''co written'' ones !) ........ |

I do remember that the protaganist of Earthlight was advised not to purchase a set of weights designed to compensate for the lower gravity of the moon, on the grounds that it would only lead to a painful lesson in the difference between weight and inertial mass... |

Someone put a mirror on the moon. It's possible to aim a laser at it and see the reflection. That's how they measure the distance between moon and earth to an accuracy of better than 1 cm.

Oh, then I don't believe a word of it. NASA is run by the military and Wikipedia is heavily biased and twists facts to suit its own agenda.

There have been many claims that the Apollo landings on the moon were a hoax. My answer to the sceptics has been well "Fly to the moon and find the artefacts".
We have had a number of moon orbiters which have photographed the landing sites but that has not satisfied the sceptics. Now some Germans propose to send a rover to the moon to inspect the remains of the Apollo XVII A Berlin-based group of rocket scientists and engineers are aiming to land a pair of privately funded Audi-branded robotic rovers on the moon and drive them to inspect NASA's Apollo 17 lunar roving vehicle, marking 45 years since humans last drove on another world.

Certainly not.
We will always have the foolish conspiracy theories. |

There is no convincing a hardened conspiracy theorist, whether the subject be the moon landings, 9/11 or anything else. They have no grasp on reasoning, logic or common sense. They just swallow the crap they read on the David Icke forums, and other sites of that nature, and refuse to accept anything that spoils their silly little fantasies. Yet we are the sheep, apparently.
