Walking on the Moon

What other such experiences does he describe through comparison?                  To what does Scott implicitly compare the weightlessness experienced on the lunar surface?

Scott is not only a distinguish astronaut but also a literary figure with a refined artistic tastes. Scott and his companions stayed at the surface of the moon for sixty-seven hours. During their stay they collected many geological specimens of that planet. 

The writer David Scott has beautiful recorded his experiences and impressions of the lunar world. He has made comparisons with the earthly life to give an idea of the unknown world through the known and experienced earthly life. He tells that he felt a wonderful lightness and swiftness while walking on the moon.

He also enjoyed falling on the moon like a child, as it could cause no harm to his bones. The moon dust was also as fine as talcum powder, but it clung to their boots and could not be removed easily. Its smell was like that of gun powder. 

There is complete stillness no wind is blowing and no sound is echoing. Only shadows are moving. Similarly Scott points out that distances of the lunar surface could not be properly estimated as there were no trees and telephonic poles to help us as they do on the earth. Their four wheeled power carries them cross the moon escape at a speed of six miles and how. He looks at his environs and concludes that the lofty mountains and the eternal wildness were never seen by the naked eye. Everything is strange and feels himself an intruder in a strange wasteland.
