Astronomy Question Of The Week: How Was The Moon Created
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Jul 14, 2009
Forty years ago, on 21 July 1969 at 03:56:20 (Central European Time), Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the Moon. All (six to date) Moon landings took place between 1969 and 1972 and a total of 12 people, all of them American astronauts, have walked on the Moon's surface.

    Neil Armstrong: First man on the moon
    Washington (AFP) July 12, 2009
    With one small step off a ladder, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, before the eyes of hundreds of millions of awed television viewers worldwide. With that step, he placed mankind's first footprint on an extraterrestrial world and gained instant hero status. His first words upon stepping on the lunar surface have since been etched in ... 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

    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 ... 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
