“The astronauts were able to create something that is beautiful to the eye and significant to the scientists. [...] The photographs were the only means through which the astronauts conveyed to humanity how beautiful these sights were.” Farouk El Baz, geology and photography instructor of the lunar crew (Schick and Van Haaften, introduction)

“The Moon was the most spectacular beautiful desert you could ever imagine. Unspoilt. Untouched. It had a vibrancy about it, and the contrast between it and the black sky was so vivid, it just created this impression of excitement and wonder.” Charles Duke, 2007 (Byzony, p. 164)

“If we choose to travel into space in the future, it should not just be to conquer new worlds and replicate our sprawling shopping malls on other planets. We should go out there to discover more about ourselves, and to look back, with wiser and more appreciative eye, at the world we leave behind.” William Anders (Byzony, p. 20)
