There was the beam of light that signaled the South Pole. At last.
|
||
Amid the black field of stars, it was difficult to tell from
|
||
first glance whether the light was falling into the ground or
|
||
emerging from it. But as I drove my staff into the center of the
|
||
light and into the earth, the trail into the sky faded away. A
|
||
few wiggles of the rod back and forth and it slipped into its
|
||
hidden socket with a metallic click.
|
||
|
||
A line emerged in the soil and widened. With a creak of rust, a
|
||
section of the earth hinged upward and revealed a steel entryway
|
||
underneath. Down that dark deep hole, that is where the core of
|
||
the Moon lay. On Earth, I knew this entrance well, climbing into
|
||
it every day to monitor construction of the electronic brains of
|
||
the massive ship. Checking up on it now felt like visiting an
|
||
old friend for tea. A friend I hadn’t seen for centuries. But it
|
||
was necessity (and curiosity) to see if all of the Moon’s
|
||
computers were still at peak performance after the long journey.
