for 40th anniversary of moon walk | Cincinnati.com | Cincinnati.Com
For 40 years now in this western Ohio town - about 110 miles due north of Cincinnati, smack in the middle of some of the most bountiful farmland in the world - native son Neil Armstrong is never far away, even though he only rarely returns to the place he once called home.

To the world, he is the first man to walk on the moon - the Apollo astronaut the whole world watched on grainy, ghostly TV images on July 20, 1969, as he stepped off the lunar module ladder and left his boot print in the chalky moon dust.

EUROPE MANNED SHIP PROGRAM
Europe has taken the first step towards building its own manned spaceship.
The European Space Agency has asked industry to work out the requirements of the craft and its likely cost.
Known as the Advanced Re-Entry Vehicle, it would be developed in phases - first as an unmanned vessel to carry cargo, and then as an astronaut crew ship.
At the moment, Europe has no independent capability to transport humans into space and must hitch rides on American or Russian systems.

Google already offers a limited overhead view of the moon that highlights the sites of the Apollo landings, but it seems more detailed maps could be in the works as part of the ongoing partnership between Google and NASA. All kidding aside, Street View for the moon is probably not on the agenda, although those lunar rovers are still up there.
