Edmund Hillary is 88 today.
On his 50th birthday, humans set foot on another planet for the first time.
Nowadays we don't bother to keep track of who's stood on Everest -- it's still hard, it's still an incredible achievement for those who do it, but it's become commonplace.
Only twelve of us ever walked on the moon.
Maybe one day we'll change that.
