      Happy Christmas to you too Alex T 🙂

      For me my favourite moment is the first moon landing, when Niel Armstrong took that small step for him that was a giant leap for mankind 🙂

      Here is a video of that moment:

      Merry Christmas, Alex!

      Like Andrew, I’m a big fan of the Apollo era of spaceflight. Apollo 11 was awesome, of course! But my favourite bit of space history comes from the space shuttle era with the launch of the first female American astronaut, Sally Ride. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Ride
