Abstract
On 20 July 1969 NASA's Apollo11 mission landed on the surface of the Moon. Apollo was done, to paraphrase US President John F Kennedy, because it was hard, and human spaceflight still remains very hard. Indeed, since the sixth and final Apollo lunar landing in December 1972, all of human spaceflight has been constrained to low Earth orbit – just a few hundred miles above the ground.
