Between Moon Knight and Roland Emmerich’s film Moonfall, in which the moon is knocked from its orbit, Hollywood is hungry for the moon right now. What’s the allure?
The moon is so inspiring. It doesn’t matter where you are on Earth, the moon has a place, in everybody’s culture, in everybody’s thinking, in everybody’s dreams. Because it’s the most obvious object one can see in the night sky. The moon has been in folklore for time immemorial. What is that movie with the Minions? Despicable Me, yes, when they go and steal the moon. Kids relate to the moon much more easily than Mars. You can’t get a SpaceX rocket and go to Mars. You could potentially do that with the moon in the next few years.
