What Apollo Has Meant to Mankind
Diana Loercher's Christian Science Monitor interview, edited from Mailer's remarks aboard the S.S. Statendam during the Apollo 17 symposium, on whether moon and space colonies might answer the impasse of modern life.
“What Apollo Has Meant to Mankind,” an interview by Diana Loercher in the Christian Science Monitor (3 January 1973), edits Mailer’s remarks aboard the S.S. Statendam — where he was a participant in the symposium on space and humanity’s future tied to the launch of Apollo 17 (see 72.24) — into a 1,000-word statement on whether moon and space colonies might address “the fundamental impasse of 20th-century man and woman.” The comments of Katherine Anne Porter, who also made the voyage, are juxtaposed on the same page. See Of a Fire on the Moon (71.1), 72.9.
