Paris (AFP) July 19, 2009
One of the many legacies of the Apollo space programme was the way it caused an extraordinary, enduring -- and, for some, troubling -- change in how we perceive the Universe and our place in it. Before, the Moon was distant and aloof, a symbol of everything that is unattainable, a place of dreams, an object of superstition and veneration. After being explored by Apollo 11 on July 20 196 ... more

    Moon potential goldmine of natural resources
    Cape Canaveral, Florida (AFP) July 16, 2009
    As the Earth's natural resources gradually dwindle, some scientists believe the moon could prove a goldmine for future generations. Forty years after American Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, and as the United States prepares to return astronauts to Earth's nearest neighbor by 2020, it remains an object of fascination and curiosity. Part of the goal of once again returning to ... more

    Majority Of Americans Say Space Program Costs Justified
    Princeton NJ (SPX) Jul 20, 2009
    On the eve of the 40th anniversary of the U.S. moon landing, a majority of Americans say the space program has brought enough benefits to justify its costs.

    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.
