There’s no dark side of the moon, really. It’s all dark.

I don’t know… I hear there are alien bases on the dark side of the moon. They might take it out.

I don’t understand why more things haven’t been done on the moon.

Yes, none more dark. If it was a movie it’d be called “Darkie Darko”.

PS. Don’t steal my title of my forth coming Rock Opera to take place on the Moon, in total darkness.

“There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact it’s all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun.”

– Gerry O’Driscoll, the doorman for Abbey Road Studio, provides the voice at the end of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, heard here from the original tape, including an extra bit.

Low budget flicks have a following. I hope.

Plants grow by sucking CO2 out of the air. Will the Chinese include a small animal to handle the other half of the job? Maybe some insects? I hope it’s not too late and that they haven’t sealed the package yet.

Yeah, according to 1970’s TV, the moon has maybe one kilogram of mass. breathe hard on it and you’ll knock it out of its orbit.
