probably man's greatest technical achievement, walking on the moon.

It also had a profound effect on humanity.

It made a lot of people realise that the seemingly impossible was possible. Changed the way of thinking of millions off people with a bit of imagination.

It made those with the power of reflective thought realise how fragile earth is and that we must look after it.

It also gave us possibly the most emotive picture ever taken.

Can you imagine being Mike Collins, left all alone when Armstrong and Aldrin buggered off to #walking on the moon# at the point where the main capsule went around the dark side of the moon he was the most remote any human being has ever been from his fellow man.

I think I’m right in saying he got to do his walkabout a few missions later.

Golf was the first sport ever played on the moon.

Golf isn't a sport, it's how to ruin a nice walk!!

Even a walk on the moon can be improved by hitting a few golf balls....

Corrected for you
