Somewhere above those clouds is the Moon, a place on which only twelve people have walked.  However its influence affects millions of lives of creatures on Earth.  50 years ago today Neil Armstrong took “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Some personal memorable Moon moments;
50 years ago tomorrow I watched the Moon Landing recording on a large school television in a hall full of excited children.  As now, the school summer holidays in that area did not start for four more days and many of us had no tv at home.  Some of the children hoped that in future they might go to the moon too.  - Inspirational
When I was very young I used to look at the moon each night and say “Goodnight Moon.  Grandma and Grandad back at home can see you too.”  Despite living in South Africa at the time I obviously thought of England as home and felt happy that the moon linked me with the family. -  Reassuring
We once lived in a cottage with a beautiful view and loved watching the tiny fishing boats silhouettted in the moonlight. - Picturesque.
Shortly after meeting my future husband, as we passed the crest of a hill we noticed the full moon with its broad silver path shining on the sea ahead and framed by the dark mountains. It felt as if it was showing us the path to the future.  - Romantic
One moonlit night on Arran as we dipped the boat’s oars in the water and trailed our hands in the sea we disturbed tiny bioluminescent plankton which momentarily gave off sparks of phosphorescence.  - Magical  
In 1999 we watched an almost total eclipse of the sun when the moon appeared to cover the sun and then last Tuesday saw a partial eclipse of the orange moon low in the sky.  - Amazing

After 50 years the dreams of the school children are unrealised but now space scientists hope that man might yet take one giant leap and go beyond the moon
