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.

Here he explains to Ivan who the astronauts were, why this was such a significant achievement and how he's come to meet six of the 12 astronauts who walked on the moon.
