Synopsis
  • "disrupting the artificial gravity and sending everyone floating" — Wikilinks for "artificial gravity" and "floating" could be better for those readers who are not wholly aware of the two terms. For clarity's sake.
Found the link for 'floating' myself.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 03:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, chasm is a synonym of fissure, which sounded more scientific and some readers might not understand it well.  — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 03:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bob de Moor

[edit]

How come we have a GA on this book which doesn't even mention Bob de Moor? Seems like a serious oversight. Destination Moon (comics), also a GA, does mention him (the fact that he got hired), but again nothing further. According to Pierre Assouline, De Moor already played a "pivotal role" in Destination Moon (backgorunds, and the rocket!)[1], and we all know how much the Moon landscapes by De Moor were essential in the look of the "Explorers" story. The De Moor biography has more information[2]. Fram (talk) 08:26, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
