A better world since 1968

“In December 1968, three very brave men went around the moon in the first manned flight of the Saturn 5 rocket. Four years later in 1972, the last astronauts of the Apollo programme visited the moon. Now, 58 years after that first flight, and 54 years since the last one, it is happening again and people are asking if the world is better now that it was then. The answer is an emphatic YES. The most dramatic event has been the decrease in extreme poverty.” (04/06/26)
