News about Neil Armstrong

Many people over the age of 60 will recall the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 16, 1969, when Nasa astronaut Neil Armstrong made history along with his colleagues Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. With the landing's 55th anniversary of the first landing this year, there has been a surge in demand by collectors of space memorabilia from the Golden Age of Space (1950s-1970s) who want their own piece of history. Consider the following: Think about the equipment, pictures, and autographs.

An 111-year-grandfather has been named the world's oldest man, thanks in large part to his extraordinary longevity, as he cites a nefarious mind and fish and chips. On Thursday, Guinness World Records paid John Alfred Tinniswood a'surprise visit' at the Hollies Rest Home in Southport, Merseyside. Mr Tinniswood, who was described as a 'well mannered gentleman', was born on August 16, 1912, the same year the Titanic sank, and he has lived through two world wars.

On Monday, Thomas Stafford, the Apollo 10 commander, died at the age of 93. He ordered the dress reversal for the 1969 moon landing. Max Ary, director of the Stafford Air & Space Museum in Weatherford, Oklahoma, died in a hospital near his Space Coast Florida home. In four space missions, the retired Air Force three-star general served in four missions. He flew on two Gemini flights, including the first rendezvous of two US capsules in orbit, well before Apollo 10.

Huntsville, Alabama, is incredibly proud of its nickname Rocket City, which has been praised for its crucial role in America's space race triumph. The city, which shifted from a cotton market town to a space travel hub in the 1950s, is home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, which led to the launch of the Saturn rockets that put the first man on the moon. However, there is also a dark side to this epic tale: many of the men who supervised the groundbreaking work were Nazis, who were recruited after the Second World War through a top-secret mission.

NASA has opened applications for prospective astronauts who want to fly to the moon and even Mars. Candidates need a master's degree in a STEM field such as maths or computer science. New astronauts will have to complete a two-year training and assessment process as well as a string of physical requirements. Through its Artemis program next year and eventually send humans to Mars by the 2030s, the space agency is planning to bring the first woman and man to the Moon.

The British 15-Rated show is based on David Nicholls' much-loved book and follows two teenage protagonists, Emma and Dexter, as they navigate the transition to adulthood and have been described by The Guardian as a "highly bingeable love tale." Rotten Tomato's scores go hand in hand, with a 95% rating. Ambika Mod, who plays Emma, is the picture on the left. Leo Woodall, who plays Dexter, is on camera on the right.

The prospect of landing a permanent settlement on the moon may have seemed unlikely in 1969. But as the United States, China, and Japan fight it out in a new space war, Earth's territorial conflicts could soon extend into space. It may have looked like Neil Armstrong first planted the American flag on the moon, it might have looked a lot like he was staking the US's territory on the moon. But can anybody really own the moon, or was Armstrong's flag planting no more legally significant than an act of cosmic littering? Experts have explained why buying a plot of land on the moon would not be all that it appears.

Harriet Arkell of MailOnline Travel visited Washington, D.C., with her two teenage boys. The 'teenagers' eyes welled up as they arrived in the city.' And the apprehensions never faded.

At the glitzy dinner in Los Angeles, the duke was all smiles as he posed with Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe (left), who was once dubbed the 'King of Trash TV.' Prince Mario-Max's website claims links dating back to William of Orange, making him a very distant cousin of the British Royals. However, his royal ties have been questioned with Prince Alexander of Schaumburg-Lippe, who says he'harvests our name for personal gain' and advises Harry to'stay away from this guy.' The 46-year-old appeared on the German version of Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, where he was booted after just eight days inside as well as appearing on a shopping channel to sell a 'wealth elixir'.

Prince Harry is expected to be dubbed a 'Life Legend of Aviation,' igniting outrage and indignation among top military veterans. The award, which places the Duke of Sussex alongside Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong as the first men to walk on the Moon, has been described as a "pathetic" publicity stunt, according to the authors. Although Harry was rightly lauded for flying an Army helicopter in Afghanistan, retired senior officers say it was his Royal position that had him chosen over hundreds of equally deserving pilots.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, has been recognised ahead of Charles Duke, who became the youngest person to walk on the moon in 1972 when he was 36 years old. The decorated event will be hosted by John Travolta and Morgan Freeman has previously dubbed aviation's Oscars. According to the awards, it is predicted that his contribution to the Invictus Games Foundation will be recognized as well. It's not clear if Harry or his partner Meghan Markle will attend the wedding. Being included on the list of inductees has sparked a mix of praise and outrage on social media, with some left confused and questioning why he was included.

It has been more than 50 years since humanity first set foot on the moon. And conspiracy allegations that the landing was fake have been denied for as long as time. Although none of these theories have any truth to them, they haven't stopped them from spreading like wildfire. Now, as NASA's long-awaited return to the moon in 2026 has flooded social media with reports that a man has never visited our lunar satellite. Some sceptics also said they couldn't figure out how they did it for the first time.'

OSCAR CAINER: As retrograde Mercury joins Mars, it gives the phrase 'only fools rush in places angels fear to tread'. However, just because it's better to look before leaping does not mean we can't take action. Now is the perfect time to reassess our results over the past year and consider our options. There's a hint of inspiration in the air. They stand a much greater chance of succeeding by allowing ideas to permeate.

It lights up the night sky and has captivated us since the dawn of humanity. But just how big is the moon compared to Earth, exactly how far away is it and why do we only see one side of our lunar satellite? These pie charts, tables, and graphs tell you all you need to hear about the glowing white sphere that orbits us from around 239,000 miles (385,000 kilometers). MailOnline also examines the moon's various phases, where men have walked on the lunar surface, and how the 'air' compares to here and there on Earth.

In a video of the mission, Duke Toe can be seen using the 5.5 inch shovel, which has a rotating head.
