moonwalk - not lp, not mj

so it's been 40 years now since mankind took their first steps on the moon. well, actually that's neil armstrong (with buzz aldrin) who did it back in july 20 1969. a little step by one man, a giant leap for the human race.

when i was little, i can still remember i had this wild dream of becoming an astronaut. in fact, science was my favorite subject when i was still in elementary. i love studying and learning about the planets. i've always been mesmerized with the pictures and amazing things that i read about the universe, the galaxies and the milky way.

of course i've outgrown that dream and instead of walking the sea of tranquility i'm now treading the sands of saudi arabia. nevertheless, let me celebrate this momentous occassion by bringing you back the images millions of people watched in black and white tv back in the late 60's.

who knows, this could probably be the first and last celestial body man would conquer. coz 40 years later on, nothing has happened. so let's marvel at the fact that at least, we've conquered the moon. venus would probably be smiling upon us.
