Another vote for 'Carrying the Fire' - fine, entertaining book.
Fareastdriver - he comments on that in his book - said he didn't feel lonely at all.
When I was born, there was no one alive who had been in the primarily gravitational influence of another heavenly body. That changed in December, 1968 with Apollo 8. Of course, in July 1969 there were humans alive that had actually walked on another planetary object.
I fear that, by the time I die, there again be no one alive who has been in the primary gravitational influence of another heavily body...
