Overview

Moon is a story about one man coming to grips with life not being everything it seems. 
 
Sam Bell is a blue collar astronaut working on a mining station on the Moon for clean energy.  He is nearing the end of his 3 year contract in which he will be able to go home to his wife and child. Sam has kept sane with the help of Gerty, the robotic assistant, wood carving and tending plants. He watches old reruns of Mary Tyler Moore and Bewitched for entertainment. 
 
One of the harvesters has a problem and Sam goes out to investigate. He hallucinates and gets into an accident. From there, Sam's life begins to unravel.
