This was a huge step not only for mankind‚ but for the technology of America in the space race against the SSSR. Some of the questions faced dealt with how they would be able to carry enough fuel to safely land two astronauts on the moon‚ and them bring them back to earth.

’Silver’ (Slowly‚ silently‚ now the moon) Walter De la Mare’s ’Silver’ describes the beauty of a moonlit night and the effect of the moonlight on the earth. The poet has sketched a number of different pictures of the moonlight scene through extended metaphors.

First of all‚ tide is the rise and fall of water caused by gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the oceans of the earth. Generally speaking‚ tidal cycles contain two high tides and two low tides each day. During the time between high and low tides there will obviously be current flow. The time between high and low tides is a little over 6 hours and the entire tidal cycle repeats itself approximately fifty minutes later each day. So if you know that low tide is at 0800 today you can estimate

This idea of the moon having power to release the wandering man from his everyday pattern of thought‚ from the "conscience of the blackened street"‚ prevails throughout the poem. But it is not just the day-to-day considerations that the moon expels: "memory" too is dissolved‚ with all its "clear relations / Its divisions and precisions". The metaphor of "dissolve[ing]
