Monday July 20 2009 is the fortieth anniversary of the first Moon Landing by Americans, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
I can remember seeing the flickery black and white television pictures. It was in the early hours of the morning here in the UK. I had two very young children so I was asleep. My husband woke me up so I could watch the historic event. Because I’d been so deeply asleep, the whole thing felt like a dream at the time and I remember it the way you remember a dream.
