It was 40 years ago we last set foot on the moon.

Eugine Cerman was the last man to do so. I had the good fortune of meeting him a couple of years back. Nice man, has always come accorss as very polite about people who claim the moon landings where faked.

Just gives a nice pause for thought today.

No need to be polite to those people. Just ask Buzz Aldrin.

Savage response by Buzz! Parliment would be far more entertaining if they settled all their disputes this way... soon Sky would have broadcast rights and would price the majority of the UK out of the market!

Still got the right stuff.
I've always been positively disposed to Clarkson for punching Piers Morgan as well.

If I'd have been brave enough to have taken that later small step, and been accused of being as liar and a coward, I've have punched him too.

I do remember watching all the moon landings live, and being filled with wonder and real joy at the adventure of it all. I had a full set of all the Apollo astronauts once, juts by writing to NASA, and they were genuine, not machine or clone signed. Made the mistake of giving them to my brother, then then vanished on their own journey into the unknown

Here's another memory for you then.

Nations with something to prove (china/japan) may be next with a manned mission.
