A Sunday Times must read book of 2019As heard on Radio 4 Book of the Week''An out-of-this-world read ... brilliant and compelling. Morton is a high-octane British science journalist, and every chapter is littered with material that strikes, amazes or haunts ... this is a book filled not just with a lifetime''s knowledge of its subject but with a lifetime''s suppressed excitement.''James McConnachie, Sunday TimesEvery generation has looked up from the Earth and wondered at the beauty of the Moon. 50 years ago, a few Americans became the first to do the reverse - with the whole world watching through their eyes.In this short but wide-ranging book, Oliver Morton explores the history and future of humankind''s relationship with the Moon.

What will they learn there about the universe, the Earth-and themselves? And, this time, will they stay?
