BBC World Service - Weekend, 50 years since the moon landing

50 years since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the Moon

50 years since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the Moon.

It's the 50th anniversary of the moon landings. What might the next 50 years of space exploration look like?

And, a look ahead to the Ukrainian elections tomorrow. Will president Volodymyr Zelenskyi pass the first big test of his leadership?

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Matina Stevis-Gridneff, European Union correspondent for the New York Times, and journalist and author Mihir Bose.
