100 years ago TODAY! March 12, 1926, Robert Goddard launched the world’s first liquid-propellant rocket. It reached just 41ft but he believed a rocket could hit the Moon Exactly 40 years later, #OTD 1966, Neil Armstrong completed the world's first docking in space on Gemini VIII

On this day 75 years ago: Dennis the Menace appeared for the first time in the Beano comic, published by Dundee's DC Thomson. Pictured here with his dug Gnasher, he still features weekly in the Beano.

@ewanandsmith 🤣🤣🤣

@traceyfs One and a half? 🤔

Serious question...we were choosing our six (living) celebs for a dream 'Blankety Blank' line up, and my question is this...do The Krankies count as one celeb or two?

@ewanandsmith 1987! How can that be????

@traceyfs 😮 Wha... wha...

(1/2) I've avoided the news all weekend and it's been marvellous. Instead, I've walked on the beach, had multiple pots of tea, a few glasses of fizz, some Minger cheese, spent time gardening and I've read my book... There is always a shitshow going on somewhere in the world...

@ewanandsmith It's nearly 40 years old!!!!

@traceyfs Such a brilliant film. Peak Sean Connery. 😊

this French and Saunders sketch is my favorite piece of contemporary opera

March 6, 1969 - Apollo 9 Without doubt some of the finest photography of the Apollo program and one of my favourite chapters in the book. The mission was conducted entirely in Earth orbit. Dave Scott is seen poking his head out of the hatch. 2 years later, he walked on the Moon.

#OTD, March 3, 1969 - Apollo 9. The Lunar Module 'Spider' is sitting in the SLA atop the mighty Saturn V's third stage, about to get its wings in Earth orbit... ...Less than 5 months later, Lunar Module 'Eagle' landed on the Moon. (For the repurposed Artemis III, read Apollo 9)

Its FRIDAY👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

#OTD 1962 John Glenn became the 1st American to orbit Earth🌎 The 60-yr-old 16mm flight film has undergone a transformative process (utilising over 1,000 image samples of the film here) for #GeminiAndMercuryRemastered, to bring out never-before-seen detail apolloremastered.com/gemini-and-mer…
