What a fascinating article, Jason. Thanks for taking us out of this world...for a little bit, anyway.

This is wonderfully otherworldly, like the event you describe and like the moon, too! A great read that takes me out of my own little hut for a moment. Thank you.

And tell those conspiracy theorists that if the moon landing was faked, it was faked six times. Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 all landed on the moon. So yes, we did go back. Or these elaborate productions were mounted six times!

Well you know, once you build the set and set up the lighting you can use it multiple times. ;)

P.S.: My source for the Apollo trivia was not Wikipedia, but my husband, who can tell you everything about the Apollo missions. Like most boys in the 60s and 70s, he wanted to be an astronaut ... at least until his older brother brought home some Rolling Stones records.

Great story, Jason! I like the comparison to the moon landing. Also sort of reminds me of a tamer version of Burning Man. I love living vicariously, one of the good things about old age.
