  1. If you repeat it often enough, it starts to sound like the the name of a travel reporter for a regional American news programme.

  3. I am partial to Jack McDevitt's MOONFALL:

    "A comet is coming. It's going to hit the Moon. And the Moon is going to Fall*.

    ON US."


    * see what he did there?

  4. I once had an old copy of THE PENULTIMATE TRUTH (Philip K. Dick) with a back cover blurb that told how the bunker residents emerged to learn the penultimate truth, as if "penultimate" meant "even more ultimate".

    It's no MOON AHEAD, but it's something.
