Perhaps he felt that exoplanets themselves were passe as settings for fiction, since in fact so many had been discovered. If so, he got in just in time, for reality may soon imitate art in the matter of moons, as well as planets. That is because a few astronomers are indeed beginning the search for satellites around some of the thousands of known and suspected exoplanets. Besides the lure of being the first to find something new, there are Cameronian motives, too. For there is reason to suspect that if life does exist elsewhere than on Earth, then the moon of an alien planet might not be a bad place to search for it.
