“On the moon there is no atmosphere to temper the heat of day and the cold of night. In direct sunlight, the rocky terrain bakes at a temperature of over 200°F. during the lunar day, which is 14 Earth days long. And, during the equally long night the surface of the moon lies in an ultradeep freeze, calculated to be 240°F. below zero. In the absence of a protective shield of gas, the surface of the moon is exposed to the full spectrum of sun’s radiant energy, including the ultraviolet radiation which is inimicable to life.”
