[cctalk] Re: OT: Moon (Was: PDP-8/L $15,000

I was worried before the first lunar landing, because prior to sending 
passengers, they had never previously managed a soft landing, nor take-off 
from anywhere but Earth.

Then, one of the Sci-Fi magazines included a very short story (a couple of 
paragraphs), in which the capsule settled down onto the moon, and 
immediately sank irrevocably below kilometer thick layer of dust.
