. . . and pique interest.

Thanks, Nick.

Very clear, and this visual was a nice touch:
[Anyway, this was so soon after the Moon-forming impact that the Moon was still assembling the last pieces of debris, crashing into its Magma ocean, and on Earth, the surface was similarly hellish and there probably wasn't even an ocean - just a thick steamy atmosphere glowing dull red.] - but this is all a different story...

A different, yet extremely fascinating story,
Dan
