Produktbeschreibung

Currently everybody wants to go to the moon. Natalie Portner won't."We already have been there six times and we found out that it doesn't make sense to continue these visits" is one of Natalie Portners central statements. "There is only dust, no atmosphere and the gravity is only one sixth of what humans are used to on Earth: not really a place you want to be.""And Art?", Jeff Koons may ask. "No", says Natalie Portner: "Art is for people and as there are and will be no people on the moon, everything you place on the moon that is not for science or research, is trash." And with a smile she adds: "And that's what humans like to do: placing trash everywhere. A little bit like dogs." But that is not the connection she wants to be seen to Jeff Koons. "I love Jeff. He is really great. Only with the moon he really is wrong. Sorry to say that."In this book everything about Natalie Portner's view of the moon, science and art and the future of humans on the planet earth.
