Nicely done - I like the color contrasts that emphasize the spacecraft.

Fanbulous imagery, 50 years, man that long. I watched the lunar landing when i was a child, admitedly i was dragged out of bed at 4am by my excited father, failing to comprehend the importance, all i wanted was sleep, lol, but since then ive been hooked. Brilliant presentation, absolutely brilliant.

Although rumours were once rife that Gagarin was not the first this is an excellent tribute. Such a shame that he died in a motorbike accident IIRC. But was is amazing is that we went from first flight to walking on the Moon in 50 years too. Had we kept up the pace we would have had colonies on Mars by now or even expeditions into deep space. Top marks on a great piece of work!

On May the 25th it will be 50 years ago that Kennedy announced plans to land a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth. Before the decade was out, where have we been ever since?
