Buzz Aldrin, the American space hero was the first man to pee on the Moon exactly 42 years ago today. Yeap. Buzz stood there, took it out in front of gazillions of people glued to the TV and did what every man would do when the bladder is full.

As a father of two and a guy who spends 25x8x366 of the time on the web, I’d like to share five free websites to the Washingtonians and of course anyone in the world with kids who has a great interest in science.
