A propos de cet article

WITH NUMEROUS MANUSCRIPT CORRECTIONS IN MOORE’S HAND. A small archive of material, comprised of three sets of scripts (one duplicate), and eight TLS: The first set of scripts comprised of 13 chapters, each typed on copy paper (20 x 32.5cm) to rectos only; the majority containing the original paperclips (now rusted); talks 1-3 gathered together, numbered to the top right hand corners; pp. 7, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6; a couple of small holes and light toning to scripts, some ink stains to versos; the odd corner crease; a couple of manuscript corrections,  in excellent condition overall. Set one contains the following talks: Men and the StarsWatchers of the StarsThe Sun’s FamilyThe Moon WorldOur Neighbour PlanetsGiants of the Solar SystemWanderers in SpaceOur Star - The SunOther SunsStars of Many KindsGas-Clouds and Island UniversesBeginnings and EndingsLife Elsewhere? The second set of scripts comprised of a Foreword (loose) and a following 13 scripts, each typed on copy paper (20 x 25cm); the majority with the original paperclips (now rusted), and occasional staple; two copies are included, the first bound together (pp. 65), with two covering sheets and a title page; and the second copy where the individual chapters are bound separately; this set has more manuscript corrections, particularly to the Foreword, which contains notes in green pen and pencil, all apparently in Moore’s hand.Set two contains the following talks: Our Earth in SpaceDreams of Other WorldsRockets into SpaceMan-Made MoonsMan in SpaceSpace Research and OurselvesContact with the Moon“One Small Step…”Space Stations and Lunar BasesMariners to MarsInto the Hot RegionsThe Grand TourFlight to the StarsThe scripts refer to Moore’s 'Into Space', a South African radio series, of which he writes in his (heavily amended) Foreword: “The SABC English Service had invited me to make a short series of broadcasts. This was followed later by a second series; and after that it was suggested that I should present regular weekly broadcasts on astronomical topics. There have been many requests for copies of these talks, and the present book has grown out of them. Obviously they have been modified, and some of the essentially topical but now outdated references have been removed; but I hope they present a varied and perhaps historical account of events during 1972, a momentous year in astronomical progress…" Also included are five typed letters, all signed ‘Patrick’ from Moore to H. David Lloyd of the South African Broadcasting Corporation, concerning the preparation of the talks for publication: "I dropped everything, and did my best. I have amended the articles to make them untopical.I have added a Foreword, and I have managed to scrape up a picture for each talk", he writes on 11th November 1972. "I am off to America on Monday for Apollo 17, but have arranged two sessions at the BBC this week before I go. I will therefore be well ahead. Wish I could do one direct from Cape Kennedy; but it's too risky" he continues on 27th November 1972.And "Did anything came of the book of the talks? As you know, I rushed it through before I went to America in December, because I gathered it was needed before Christmas; but I haven't heard another thing!! I'd be most grateful if you'd let me know; and if you are NOT publishing them after all, I'd be glad to have them back, because someone else is very interested in doing them (Reid's)" on 23th January 1973. With with one typed postcard from ‘P’, also to Lloyd, one return letter to Patrick, and a TLS to Lloyd from Pat Wood, General Features, on BBC headed notepaper. A wonderful archive of material. Type: Scripts. Material: Copy paper.…
