"Beautiful, beautiful. Magnificent desolation." -- Buzz Aldrin

What's so beautiful about desolation? Or has he been down the docklands recently?

I reckon he's talking about being on the moon which would be totally brilliant. I wonder what it was like to walk on that dirt. I'd be terrified that I'd poke a hole in the suit and die, but blimey, can't you imagine looking up in the sky and seeing the earth?!

I wouldn't even have the words to describe it.

But I can't imagine being somewhere that empty. Like the Sahara and that. There's nothing anywhere. It's not really suited for people. Maybe it's just trying to protect itself from us barging in.
