40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST MOON LANDING
Time sure flies! I was just a one year old when the Apollo 11 mission landed on the moon so although I didn't watch it actually happening it is part of my generation's life.
However, I recall a lesson at primary school some eight years later when the teacher asked us who was the first man on the moon. I thrust my hand skywards desperate to answer . . . "Sir, sir" I cried, "it was "Louis Armstrong!" 
Oh the shame! - I'm so sorry Neil. Happy Anniversary!
