ASTRONAUT Brian Anderson will be nearly 50 by the time the Mars expedition on which he hopes to be a crew member lands on the red planet.
Youngsters from Watchfield Primary School who met him yesterday will then be teenagers.
Let us hope they will look back at that meeting and be impressed by the achievements of a chap who is as old as their granddads.
