While there have only been a handful of new missions since, the fascination with our planetβs satellite continues, and generations of writers and artists have imagined the endless possibilities of lunar life. The Eagle Has Landed collects the best stories written in the fifty years since mankind first stepped foot on the lunar surface, serving as a shining reminder that the moon is a visible and constant example of all the infinite possibility of the wider universe.
