Richard C. Hoagland's 1968 Lunar Module Media Guide Article
In
1968, Richard C. Hoagland was a science advisor to Walter Cronkite and CBS News
and an independent science media consultant. At that time, literally just
months before Apollo 11 would make the first manned lunar landing, Grumman
Corporation (now Northrop\Grumman) the maker of the Lunar Module, issued a
press kit to all the media of the day; television networks, newspapers and wire
services. Its purpose was to inform the various newsmen of all the crucial
facts and figures relating to the Lunar Module; how it was conceived, what it
did and how it worked. As an adjunct to this rather dry and technical
instruction manual, Grumman hired a young hotshot science writer to compose the
part of the manual which dealt with the Moon itself. For this they wanted a
touch of poetry, not just the arid facts and figures of the Moon’s diameter and
material composition, but also of the lure of Luna herself. They wanted someone
to reach deep into the lore of our nearest celestial neighbor and extract that
which draws us to her, that which makes the Moon a mysterious and beckoning
destination; that which makes her a Face that could launch a thousand missions,
Dark and otherwise.
They chose Richard C. Hoagland.
As you read through this decades old essay, you’ll be surprised at how much of
what we thought we knew then is now known to be wrong, and how much still has the
ringing echo of truth. Just after this was issued, he handed a copy to Sir
Arthur C. Clarke, the author of 2001 and then a freshly minted on-air science
consultant to CBS News as well. Clarke took the manual home that same night and
brought it back to the young Mr. Hoagland the next day with a one word review:
“Excellent!”
After reading it myself, 40 years after Sir Arthur, I cannot disagree.
His writing is lyrical and inspiring (did he really use the word “limned?”), as
I think the Grumman folks meant it to be, but it is still stylishly, undeniably
“Hoagy-esque.” There is at least one clever,
interesting little surprise in the essay, a coincidence so obvious that it begs
to question whether it is really a coincidence at all. Perhaps it is what
Richard likes to call a “resonance” in the Hyperdimensional aether.
Or maybe it’s something more.
Take a few minutes and read it yourself, and let’s see how quickly you can all
figure out the surprise I’m talking about. Even if you can’t, you’ll still
enjoy the piece, even from the perspective of forty years of lunar history. I
know I did.
