I met a guy today who as a nine year old watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon through his grand father's television set.
About the same time he saw Stanley Kubrik's 2001 A Space odyssey and the two events combined to inspire him to work in the field of space.
He has just got a new job, working on the European project to put a scientific probe onto Mars that will carry out various experiments to search for the presence of "life".
In five years time.
I also , coincidently, bought two chocolate bars that are offering a trip to space for a lucky winner.
Signs of the times and just as unlikely that i'll win as ever before but i'm going to check anyhow.
