Apollo 13 did not land on the Moon as planned back in April 1970, instead it went around the Moon and returned to Earth. While behind the Moon Apollo 13 was out of touch with mission control.

In this series of posts I’m going to look at the human perspective and ask questions like ‘What does it mean to be human?’ or ‘How can I be a better Human?’ with a little sprinkling of ‘How can I be more comfortable as a human?’In this mad world we’ve been enduring especially over the…

My name is Simon I'm an engineer, creator, free thinker and occasionally writer. For far too long I had ideas and nowhere to put them for the world to see, that's why Planet Simon was created.
I'm an experimenter, explorer and fascinated by the world around me and the people in it. My exploration goes further than the known universe and expands out to universe's I've created in my mind and put onto the creative canvas.
I'm not the person I used to be and over time I have evolved and the blog is evolving with me. Whatever this blog is in the future it's a place where all are welcome and ideas can roam free to find their magical place in the universe.

Such gorgeous shots of the moon, and I am very thankful for you posting this for us to see.

Who knows, we may end up as “dinosaurs” :))
I take your point. The planet would be happier…
We can’t control this either. So let’s just keep going and be kind where we can.

Spectacular shots of the moon. Hope you’re staying healthy in your neck of the world. Starting to get ugly in my neck of the world.
