Flight International issue 21 - 27 July
Check out the Flight Blog which has a collection of all of Flight International's Apollo 11 content from the archive from the moment in 1961 when President Kennedy announced the ambition to land a man on the Moon, to 1969 when Neil Armstrong (pictured) became the first man to set foot on the Moon's surface.
Check our Apollo 40th anniversary page which fast forwards 40 years to celebrate the anniversary with an interactive graphic which takes you through the Apollo missions to number 11 with links to the relevant page in the archive.
The blog post also includes links to the archive about Saturn V's heavyweight payload, the journey to the Moon and Apollo 11 splashing into the sea upon its return.
Elsewhere on the Flight Blog is a video where a bored artist makes art out of the magazines and safety card in the seat pocket.
If you want to repeat this feat the next time you fly, just make sure your scissors are TSA-OK and your glue conforms to the 3-2-1 liquids rule.
Week on the Web is also available as an audio podcast on AirSpace and iTunes.

I think the moon landing is a great achievement for mankind. It makes me wander what other feats of space exploration will be achieved in the future.
I find it difficult to visualise humans to achieving much more of an epic feat when it comes to space travel, due to atmospheric constraints on other planets, oxygen levels and radiation exposure.
