Shane Hannon, assistant producer on Off the Ball, is a self-titled space nerd. His lifelong obsession has left him with an encyclopedic knowledge of the Apollo missions and space research. He spoke to Ivan about what this 50th anniversary of the moon landing truly means, saying it's the most "philosophically, historically and scientifically significant moment in the 21st century".
