Wonderfully apt tribute, Rick. Many a line to appreciate, as ‘unpacking samples to a canvas of desire’. I fancy this does justice to the vocation of the Scientist—‘the dune of oxidates’ and ‘timeless super 8’—and the Painter, and the experience of the man at once.

Congratulations, Rick!

Thanks for the notice, Cally!

Thanks Erik. I guess science and art hit that fork in the road some time ago. At this point, I'm happy with that ~,:^) I revised this, maybe before you read it, to fix the meter in line 12 and replace "carbon" with "cobalt." The latter will piss off scientists even more! But Bean himself said once that a scientist would paint the surface of the moon gray. Glad you like it.

Thanks John.
