Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The Author Werner "Tiki" Küstenmacher, a German pastor, is a best-selling author and illustrator of over fifty books. He has been fascinated by space travel since early childhood. This travel guide to the Moon, he tells us, has been the most enjoyable book he has ever worked?"It's just a pity I had to write about a place I haven't been to yet!" After writing the book, he feels as if he has been there, and hopes the reader will share this feeling, too. For one thing is certain: Traveling to the Moon is bound to be the deepest spiritual experience of one's life. Tiki Küstenmacher has made provisions for the future. He already owns a nice plot of land on the Moon. If you want to visit him there it is near the Gassendi Grater, on the shores of Mare Humorum.

Aus dem Klappentext

"Suddenly from behind the rim of the moon, in long, slow-motion moments of immense majesty, there emerges a sparkling blue and white jewel, a light, delicate sky-blue sphere laced with slowly swirling veils of white, rising gradually like a small pearl in a thick sea of black mystery. It takes more than a moment to fully realize this is Earth?home." ?Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14) The Powers of the Moon Waxing Moon: It is believed that new moonlight helps to generate storms. Also, the liquid in plants increases. During this phase of the Moon, you should seed legumes, build chimneys, and engage in financial business. However, it is a bad time for fighting pests. Full Moon: This is a very special time. Many animals stay awake during this night, including many humans. It is a bad day for marriage and any kind of argument that could end violently. On the other hand, it is a good time to preserve fruit and breed horses. Waning Moon: During this phase, the liquid inside plants recedes, so it is a good time for cutting wood or mowing the lawn. Painting walls or doing dental surgery is also recommended. From a lunar point of view, it is a bad time to conduct business on the stock exchange. New Moon: The weather is about to change. It is an ideal time for weeding, ending arguments, starting new business, or meditation. Complete list of successful moon landings
