45 years!

Can you believe it. It is 45 years since Apollo 11 blasted off. I still remember well watching the live B & W TV footage in the school assembly hall. Totally riveted. All that time elapsed, all the new technology and we still have not been back.

We're an old mob, aren't we? There will be dozens reporting that they also remember. But, yeah, was that 45 years? As Rick Wakeman said, 'there was nobody there so we came back again'. (Tongue in cheek of course.)

We went back five more times, the last being in 1972.
