People loved it.

It's amazing.

So the Museum of the Moon is this sculpture which is a replica moon and it's all made of NASA imagery.

I had a scientist in tears where they were able to walk around the far side of the moon for the first time and see it.

Because the moon that we see in the sky always faces one direction.

Yeah, in Bristol there's a 13.5 metre gap between high tide and low tide and back in 2001 I had this idea that I could make a replica moon artwork inspired by cycling my bike over the river and noticing all the water had gone and then you come back an hour later and it's all full up.

Maybe the architecture around the UK and other places that are very susceptible to massive tides will become more like the Mediterranean.

You'll be building right on the seafront.

Ten years, there'll be a generation of people born that will have never seen the actual moon.

You'd have to be trying to describe to them what the moon would look like in the sky.

They might see it on TV and they might see it in paintings.

But there's something about the physicality of actually seeing the moon in the sky.

So trying to explain what it's like to be followed by the moon...

When you're in your car driving along and it looks like the moon is following you as a companion.

When we presented a sculpture of the moon around cathedrals and museums, a little girl came up to me and she said, will you put the moon back afterwards?

So she thought I'd stolen the real moon.

That cultural shift will be profound.

And over the generations, we would lose a feeling of what that experience was like to be physically looking and engaging with the moon.

I'd hoped so.

One of the main outcomes from the Apollo moon missions wasn't the ability to go to the moon and discover it and put a flag in it.
