I was in grade school for the dawn of the Space Age. NASA sent exhibits around the schools to pump up science education. One of the most vivid memories of my student years was of a white-jacketed tech dunking a banana into liquid nitrogen, then using the fruit to drive in a nail. It came back to me this morning, as I stepped out into the heart-stoppingly lunar cold to see if the car battery had survived. Frigidity Base: the Snowgoose has landed.
