AS THE 40th anniversary approaches of man's first steps on the moon, we're asking for your memories of that historic moment.
When Neil Armstrong and his crew arrived on the lunar surface on 20 July 1969, the world was watching in awe.
We'd like to hear from you if you can remember where you were, what you felt and how you watched the event unfold.

Oh and how did the big moon buggy fit into the small landing pod... and the panning of the camera as the lander takes off - did they leave the cameraman on the moon... show us some photos of the moon with the stuff they left there on it...
40th Anniversary would be a good time for them to admit it was just faked as the Russians had been getting a bit fancy with their space exploration efforts.
