    I’d be more impressed if someone brought a pipe organ to space.

    Very interesting today. I especially like the discovery of a new Mozart work! Will google it soon;)

    I thought sure Yuri Gargarin yanked out his violin and started playing on the third orbit

    the bombing of Germany by the Allies must have missed that particular German library

    Great, tell Russia and China where your moon base is going to be before you get there…

    There’s already a lunar base in the Mare Tranquillitatus—it’s just not ours.

    The cavern beneath the lunar surface, sounds strangely similar to a story or ten by Robert Heinlein.

    Sarah would’ve gotten a more appreciative response if she played the flute. The trill of a life time. Lot’s of smiles, too.

    So after all of mankind’s advances that have lead us to landing on the moon, the first habitat to be considered is a cave! We go to the moon, huddle in a cave, i.e. cavemen, and start over?

    Unfortunately, she’s a Tuba player and never played violin prior

    This leaves me to wonder what an above-ground cave would look like. Perhaps a black hole?

    Wasn’t there a Star Trek OS episode where Motzart was still alive?

    Was Mozart or his sister? He wrote a lot of things and so did she. Only her work was not recognized in that time. Musicologists are researching her work and the results are most interesting.

    For those wondering, as was I, about it really being named “ganz kleine Nachtmusik,” or in English “A Very Little Night Music.” It was renamed that after its discovery last September. It was originally “Serenade in C.”

    I get the joke, but what kind of chutzpah does it take to rename Mozart?

    If the sheet music had “W.A. Mozart” on it, why would they say it was LIKELY written by him?

    The H. G. Wells story sounds a bit more feasible.

    Lunar Cave eh? May be a suitable Lunie Bin to house the Orange one.
