A Moon Pool Shaped

No!  This Is Nothing To Do With Radiohead
 - and their album "A Moon Shaped Pool", although I have been listening to that signature track from the album, "Burn the Witch".  And, if you go back through the discography of Radiohead, you will find an early album called "The Bends".
     Let us now abruptly switch track, as we are wont to do here at BOOJUM! and divert our focus to marine exploration.  If your fond desire is to examine the briny deeps, what swims within them, and the silty ocean floor, then how do you conveniently access those same salty depths?

No!  Bad Art!  Naughty Art!

     Why, you take advantage of naval architecture, sea level and atmospheric pressure, and you build an open area into your ship's keel, meaning that you can access the sea without being affected by hideous weather conditions topside.  Art?

A rather regularly-shaped moon pool

     If you remember anything about James Bond's opponents, you surely remember that hi-tec harridan the 'Disco Volante' and her moon pool -

Thus

     - although they don't christen it the same.  The reason why it's called a 'moon pool' is obscure, and I found the few attempts to explain this on teh Interwebz frankly unconvincing.  UNCONVINCING!
     As you can see, having a moon pool in your sinister luxury cruiser means you can get up to all sorts of mischief undetected, although it does also allow nosey foreign spies a means of ingress, so some of that budget you saved on providing protective outdoor wear for your deck crew had better go on extra security.
     Please be advised that a "Moon Pool" has nothing to do with a "Moonraker", although they do have 007 in common, and the derivation of the term 'moonraker', implying someone whose wits are so addled that he attempts to use a rake to recover the reflected moon from a pool, does in fact require a moon and a pool.  Art?

Notttttt entirely sure about this one -

     I think we might run with this theme of the Moon, we've not had a theme for a while and it takes some of the heavy lifting out of creating deathless prose/nonsensical drivel.*
"Moon Sink"

I've just spent a fruitless 5 minutes searching for this novel, because I'd got into the mindset of 'moon' and 'something to do with water' and it ought to be -

"Moon Blink" By Sadie Miller
Hmm, curious, how did this trope ever get past my beady (cyborg) eye?  There appears to be a small tranche of novels which focus on Brigadier Gordon Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, late of the Scots Guards.  You might know him better as one of the progenitors of U.N.I.T. those stalwart chaps who constantly maintain an inquisitive interest in your humble scribe.  Art?

One tranche of the trope

     "Pshaw!" I hear you burble.  "As if!  There's no such thing as "U.N.I.T."
     Yes.  That's exactly what they want you to believe ...
     Well, the Brig seems to have given his blessing to this work of fiction.  Conrad might actually see what it's going for on Abebooks.  You never know, once U.N.I.T. realise I've been reading about them, they might slacken off the intrusive surveillance/careful monitoring* a bit.


"Moon Zero Two"
You may not have heard of or seen this Hammer sci-fi blast, made only 3 months after Mister Armstrong put his boot on the lunar regolith for real.  If so then you are all the poorer for it, and ignore the laughable 4.2 rating on IMDB.  Art?

Yes indeed

     I shan't issue any spoilers, even if it is nearly 50 years old, because I am moral that way**, though I note that the budget was all of £500,000.  Ignoring inflation and currency variations - because it's MY blog and I can - I shall further note that bloated flop "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" cost £62 million and that M02 delivers about 100 times more entertainment than a film costing 124 times more.
     Oh - I know I said 'no spoilers' but you should surely check out the state-of-the-art portable computer toted around by one of the bad guys.

Even more sophisticated than this!

And of course no BOOJUM! post that goes into detail about the Moon can possibly end without us hurling thermonuclear abuse at our nearest major planetary body.  Art?

Ha!  Take that, Moon!

     Yeah, that'll teach it to go around inspiring poets and authors and painters and all.
