"The Moon belongs to everyone, which means it belongs to no one."

Our Moon - Rebecca Boyle
#booksky 💙📚
#SciFriBookClub: www.sciencefriday.com/sf-books/our...
Quote from "Our Moon," by Rebecca Boyle: “We don’t need to build a human settlement on the Moon. We don’t need to do anything at all to the Moon. The Moon cannot speak for itself. We have to speak for it. And no one person, no single culture, can speak for everyone who shares the sky. The Moon belongs to everyone, which means it belongs to no one.”
