I have always been fascinated with the moon landings and everything Nasa.
Perhaps it was because I was born on July 20, the anniversary of the day that Neil Armstrong took his first historic steps on the moon in 1969. Just to clarify, I wasn't actually born
on the same day, as I am so much younger than that, actually I was born a year later to the day, in 1970.
Legends like Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and the other Nasa astronauts were my heroes growing up, and still are.
I wanted to be an astronaut myself, but my chances were severely limited by my colour-blindness, some sort of dyslexia when it comes to mathematics and the fact I was born in Greymouth, a town that didn't have much of an apprentice programme for astronauts.
