On: Astronaut Thomas Stafford has died

[samstave]

Do these things just come to him in his dreams? Maybe his Fiance who passed is sending him info beyond the grave...

Never fails to impress...

However, would you think the term "another world" == the Moon? Isnt the Moon intrinsically a part of this world?

Another Globe would be more accurate.

[cgriswald → samstave]

I don’t believe I have seen anyone use “world” to also include the Moon. Do you have an example?

Generally moons are not considered part of the same “world” as their planets:

“All these worlds are yours except Europa.”

[themadturk → cgriswald]

But this example itself shows Europa (a moon) to be a singular world among other worlds.

[cgriswald → themadturk]

That is the point I was making.

I think there is some confusion with my first sentence:

> I don’t believe I have seen anyone use “world” (when referring to Earth) to also include the Moon (as part of the same 'world').

FWIW his fiancee was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, they married a few months later and AFAICT is still on a Lane(1) going forward.
