Washington (AFP) July 12, 2009With one small step off a ladder, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, before the eyes of hundreds of millions of awed television viewers worldwide. With that step, he placed mankind's first footprint on an extraterrestrial world and gained instant hero status. His first words upon stepping on the lunar surface have since been etched in ... more 
Washington (AFP) July 12, 2009A member of the first team to set foot on the moon, astronaut Buzz Aldrin is a staunch advocate of space exploration who once publicly punched a man who claimed the lunar landings were a hoax. "Beautiful, beautiful. Magnificent desolation," he said as he became the second person - just minutes after Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong - to set foot on another world on July 20, 1969. ... more 
Parkes, Australia (AFP) July 12, 2009In a dry, dusty paddock thousands of miles from Mission Control, a group of Australian astronomers were the first people in the world to witness a giant leap for mankind.
