Chasing the phantom of a bygone era, 'Moondust' embarks on a poignant journey to interlace the cosmic and the human. Andrew Smith, a journalist guided by inquisitive lament, reunites with the nine surviving Apollo moonwalkers- the valiant navigators of the celestial seas. Theirs is a tale of extraordinary odysseys etched in the dust of the moon and forever shadowed by the sparkle of earthshine. Smith unearths the psyche of these astronauts as they grapple with life post-apollo missions amidst a world metamorphosing quicker than the crossing of night into day. Their whispers reveal hearts wrestling with fame's ephemeral grip, financial dissonance, and the chronic struggle to anchor cosmic exhilaration to terrene existence. 'Moondust' is an elegiac tribute to the last fantastical leap of the 20th century, a meditation on heroism waxing and waning, and the relentless pursuit of purpose beyond the footprints on lunar soil.
