to make a mark

Posted on Thursday, 2008 September 25 by Anton

Some work of fiction, possibly Varley’s Steel Beach, mentions a service called First Footprints that takes tourists to untrodden parts of the Moon.

I’d pay extra for a temporary inflated tent so as to make bare footprints.

    I’m guessing you’d need a well-heated temporary tent to avoid frostbite.

    I dunno, how quickly does the lunar surface heat up in the morning?

    The regolith, unlike the sand of your Earth beaches, is hideously abrasive because the grains have not been tumbled for eons by the waves. Better to have the soles of your boots molded to the shape of your bare feet.
