Poul Anderson, The Stars Are Also Fire, 7.
Murals in the Lunar terminal:
Armstrong's landing;
the Great Return;
Anson Guthrie founding the base that will become Tychopolis;
Dagny Beynac in charge of the construction of the 100th Crisswell energy collector.
Because Lunarians do not flaunt public achievements, there are no murals from the Selenarchy period - that might have shown:
Martian colonization;
interstellar missions;
Guthrie's and Rinndalir's exodus to Alpha Centauri.
This triumphal list summarizes future history, including important names:
Armstrong
Crisswell
Guthrie (twice)
Beynac
Rinndalir
- and I have learned by writing this post.

Kaor, Paul!
Plainly, what was meant by the "Great Return" were human beings returning to the Moon, this time to STAY! Which I ardently hope soon happens in reality!
