The Lunar and Planetary Institute has made freely available for download in PDF format the book To a Rocky Moon by lunar and planetary scientist Don Wilhelms (University of Arizona Press, 1993). It tells the story of scientific exploration of the Moon from space from the perspective of scientists rather than engineers, astronauts or mission operations.

Thanks for the link. I've downloaded it all and have started the 'Quiet Prelude'. Looks like Don W is a vivid writer and a strong character.

To a Rocky Moon is a fantastic book, my signed copy is currently listed on a well known auction site to raise some funds- I'll be sorry to see it go. If someone here could give it a good home that'd be brilliant smile.gif
