The Financial Times asked me to create an illustration to accompany their coverage of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. As a bit of a space geek myself, I was really excited to create something to mark the event. I wanted to capture the excitement and energy that must have captivated people around the world on that day in 1969. I decided to visualize a series of moments, including the lift off of Apollo 11, the landing module and those incredible first steps.
