It was a compulsion that was possibly older than not only my young self, but older than human-kind- and I felt it with an immediacy that was both ancient and timeless.
In 2008, the Indian Space Research Organization has announced that the unmanned mission Chandrayaan-1 has found amino acid traces and organic compounds- possible evidence of life- in moon rocks and soil samples. When interviewed, the scientists in charge stated that similar findings had been published in the findings of the first manned US space mission- Apollo 11, in July 1969- but that the equipment of the time was not sophisticated enough to definitively confirm the finding.
Interestingly, very little has been said about it since.
Perhaps the mystery is too daunting.
