A tribute to Patrick Moore, who died today at the age of 89

J.N. Leonard, "Flight into Space", New American Library, 1954.

Patrick Moore: "It is true that we seem to be alone in the Solar System. The Flying Saucers are not solid, the men from Venus have not visited us, the Martians belong to the storytellers. Yet perhaps we, the men of earth, can make up for this. We are almost ready to reach out to the planets; and in a century or two, our great-grandchildren may be able to look at their own world from an observatory lying far away in space, or built upon one of the dusty deserts of Mars." (The Worlds Around Us, 1956)
