However, Axel now resumed his smile. But you went to the planet Jupiter. Did you use coordinates to do so?" "Well, yes and no. The Jupiter thing came about as a sort of a lark- Again, as at the American Society for Psychical Research in New York, at SRI I got bored with the hundreds and hundreds of experiments, "NASA was sending the Pioneer fly-by past Jupiter, and I thought it would break the monotony of our SRI work by trying to get to Jupiter ahead of the fly-by. It was a good experimental idea, for we could register my impressions of the planet, circulate them to interested people, and do it in advance of the data the fly-by would send back. "This data would act as feedback to see if we nailed down any unsuspected facts about Jupiter. It was just a further test of remote-viewing capabilities. "As kind of coordinates, we found out where Jupiter was in relation to which part of the Zodiac, where Earth was in respect to the Sun, These three factors - the placements of Earth, Sun and Jupiter, acted as a kind of triangulation as to where Jupiter was." "Yes, I see," Axel grinned. "You did pretty good." I decided to take an initiative. "Axel, I don't like to do tasks unless there is a good chance of obtaining feedback, and you represent one of those times I have been dragged into a situation where obviously I am not going to get any . . . am I?" "Well, that poses a bit of a problem considering our situation here. But surprisingly some feedback will become available in other ways. I'll send it to you, in an unmarked envelope." "Well, what then is your task?" I asked. After a long moment. Axel asked: "Ingo, what do you know about the Moon?" The MOON! He wants me to go to the Moon. "Well, I know it is there, that it's a dead satellite, it has craters and mountains, if that is what you mean." "Have you studied the Moon, or gone psychically to it?" "No. We never tried the Moon, because too much is known about it. It would not constitute a good experiment because of that. People would think I had learned about the Moon, or looked at it through telescopes or something." "What about the reverse side of the Moon. That side is always turned away from Earth. No one could accuse you of being able visually to see that." "But, still, the NASA's Moon missions have encircled it, and there are lots of photos and stuff." Axel laughed. "Well, we want you to go to the Moon for us, and describe what you see. I have some Moon coordinates prepared, about ten altogether. Is that too many?"
