It’s been 50 years this year since Neil Armstrong became the 1st person to set foot on moon.
While the historic event was followed by 6 further crewed missions – 5 landing – nobody has been back to the moon since the astronauts of Apollo 17 bid their goodbyes in 1972.

It is extraordinary to think that the computer onboard that 1st moon landing space ship, Apollo 11, had less power than our mobile phones.
This was an astonishing feat of imagination, faith, science, expertise and project planning

My Dad took my brother outside 1 night when he was a young boy, sometime in the 1950s and pointed at the moon and said
“Sometime, it may not be in my lifetime, it may not be in yours, we will put men on moon”.
We had no TV, car, telephone.
YET by 1970 we had seen it televised.
