For next year’s 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Tralee, in Co Kerry, has erected a plaque to commemorate the visit to the town of the late US astronaut, Neil Armstrong. He was the first man to step on the moon in 1969.

A rare gold replica of the lunar space module has been stolen from the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Ohio.

It was 48 years ago today that a former US navy test pilot delivered one of the most famous sound bites in history.

The National Air and Space Museum in Washington is launching a crowd-funding campaign to conserve the spacesuit Neil Armstrong wore on the moon.
