And for all the “sceptics”… Study the design of the A7L spacesuit. It’s a masterpiece of engineering. … SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “Performance Enhancing (Steroid) Urine Test Panel”, url: “http://www.drugscreendevices.com/22/performance-enhancing-steroid-urine-test-panel/” }); [...]

A lesser-known fact is that the US did manage to build a small restaurant on the Moon five years later having to abandon the idea after a rather short run. Turns out the food was great , but there was no atmosphere.

This could turn into one of those “zen” conversations…

I was 11 when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and I remember the sense of excitement and anticipation which accompanied the days immediately before. My friends and I still had a couple of hot debates to be resolved – was the moon really made of cheese and were there moon men living in the craters?

I missed the actual landing because it happened in the early hours of the morning UK time, but we got let out of school early so that we could see the replay on TV. I remember we had the best shepherd’s pie I’ve ever tasted for lunch that day – don’t ask me why that sticks in my mind but the moon and shepherd’s pie will always hold an association. That evening I looked up at the moon and thought,”Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are bouncing around up there”.

Wonderful memories of a wondrous era where everything seemed possible and there was still so much more to discover.
