Australians remember giant leap for mankind
Parkes, Australia (AFP) July 12, 2009
In a dry, dusty paddock thousands of miles from Mission Control, a group of Australian astronomers were the first people in the world to witness a giant leap for mankind. It was 12 minutes past 11 am when Apollo 11 appeared over Dead Man's Hill, just outside the Australian capital, Canberra, and engineer Hamish Lindsay was waiting with bated breath. "I'd had six years' preparation for ... read more

40 years on, deniers insist moon landing was in Arizona
Washington (AFP) July 12, 2009
Forty years after Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, there are still those who insist that his giant leap for mankind happened on a film set in Arizona, not on the lunar surface. The deniers insist that NASA went to extraordinary lengths and great expense to stage a moon landing in a film studio because it wanted to distract a public weary of the Vietnam war, or felt it ... more

    Buzz Aldrin: Second man to walk on the moon
    Washington (AFP) July 12, 2009
    A member of the first team to set foot on the moon, astronaut Buzz Aldrin is a staunch advocate of space exploration who once publicly punched a man who claimed the lunar landings were a hoax. "Beautiful, beautiful. Magnificent desolation," he said as he became the second person - just minutes after Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong - to set foot on another world on July 20, 1969. ... more

    Walking on the moon: a singular, solitary experience
    Cape Canaveral, Florida (AFP) July 12, 2009
    For the man of faith, walking on the moon challenged and redefined his concept of God and creation. For the scientist, it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to deepen his knowledge. But astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Harrison Schmitt can agree on one thing: mankind has a duty and a responsibility to continue its adventure in space in our solar system and beyond. Aldrin, now 79, landed on the ... more
