    Even having worked in the US Space Program many years ago, I’m still astonished by the many impossible things these people routinely do.

    Wonderful images, now I am almost sure we are not alone in this Universe. Professor Hawkins saw this right!

    I remember setting my alarm for about three am to watch the touchdown. It was incredible!

    I'm of an age where when I was a kid I asked for an astronaut's suit for Xmas. I'm sure my parents tried to get me one but I never received one.

    My 12-year-old lad , born in Buenos Aires , knows exactly who 'Oor Wullie' is.

    OK, he has a few Scottish relatives and that may be an important factor.

Thank you for the support!
