Washington (AFP) July 16, 2009They have travelled further than any fashion item on Earth, surviving a hostile environment and extremes of heat and cold on a world far from ours. But now age is catching up with NASA spacesuits. "There is a lot of decay," admitted sadly Cathy Lewis, curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, who is charge of looking after a dozen spacesuits worn on the Apollo missions. ... more 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Jul 16, 2009Neil Armstrong was supposed to be asleep. The moonwalking was done. The moon rocks were stowed away. His ship was ready for departure. In just a few hours, the Eagle's ascent module would blast off the Moon, something no ship had ever attempted before, and Neil needed his wits about him. He curled up on the Eagle's engine cover and closed his eyes. But he could not sleep. Neither cou ... more 
San Francisco (AFP) July 13, 2009Man's first trip to the moon is about to blast off anew in an online recreation intended to enthrall an Internet generation not yet born when the US mission made history 40 years ago.

Cape Canaveral, Florida (AFP) July 12, 2009For the man of faith, walking on the moon challenged and redefined his concept of God and creation. For the scientist, it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to deepen his knowledge. But astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Harrison Schmitt can agree on one thing: mankind has a duty and a responsibility to continue its adventure in space in our solar system and beyond. Aldrin, now 79, landed on the ... more
