50 years ago the Apollo 11 mission landed the first human beings on the moon.

I remember working on the Apollo 11 programme the day they landed on the moon. I was on my Inlay attachment and have no recollection of my contribution to this epic [not much I suspect].
I do remember another shift taking over, driving home at 1am and watching the first moonwalk at home on TV with the moon in the background out the window! Still seems amazing after 50 years.
Dug out my old diary…Apollo 11 TC7 Crew 4 1330-0045

BBC Radio 5 Live phoned me to ask what I did on the Apollo 11 broadcast from TC7 on 21 July 1969. Well it was only 50 years ago …

I’m obviously getting old and sentimental, but – Just before he died, Neil Armstrong said something like, “Next time you see the Moon, give it a wink for me!” Well, last night, on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch, they called it was a partial eclipse, but it looked to me as though the Moon was winking back!
