First Space Selfie
American astronaut Buzz Aldrin may not have been the
first man on the moon, but at least, he had the
accolade of taking the first space selfie. Tweeting
about it years later, the famed Nasa spaceman wrote,
‘Did you know I took the first space selfie during
Gemini 12 Mission in 1966? BEST SELFIE EVER.’ We
agree, Buzz. We agree.

College Days
Mark Zuckerberg was only in his sophomore year at
Havard when he founded Facebook from the confines
of his small dormitory. Pictured looking carefree (and
slightly hungover) in his more formative days, little did
he know of the global fame and $46 billion wealth that
would follow.

The German Divide For years, Germany was split into to two countries: the socialist East and the capitalist West and visits to opposing territories were strictly forbidden. This meant would-be visitors needed a spark of creativity if they were to overcome such obstacles.

Hannah Stilley is Believed to be the First Human to Appear on Camera Born in 1746, Hannah Stilley is probably the first known human captured on camera when her photo was taken in 1840.

Hitler in Paris
Upon the Nazi occupation of Paris in 1940, Adolf Hitler
posed in front of the Eiffel Tower with his architect
Albert Speer (left) and his favorite sculptor Arno
Breker.
Before the Nazi occupation, the lift cables were cut by
the French so that Adolf Hitler would have to climb the
steps to the summit of the Eiffel. The parts to repair
them were allegedly impossible to obtain because of
the war. Hitler indeed stayed on the ground. It was
said that Hitler conquered France, but did not conquer
the Eiffel Tower. Some German soldiers had to climb to
the top to hoist the swastika, but the flag was so large
it blew away just a few hours later, and it was replaced
by a smaller one. A Frenchman scaled the tower during
the German occupation to hang the French flag. In
August 1944, when the Allies were nearing Paris, Hitler
ordered General Dietrich von Choltitz, the military
governor of Paris, to demolish the tower along with
the rest of the city. Von Choltitz disobeyed the order.
The lifts of the Tower were working normally within
hours of the Liberation of Paris.

Last Kiss
“Last Kiss”, With the onset of World War Two, millions
of young men were forced apart from their loved ones.
And, as this poignant yet heartbreaking photo shows,
the sacrifices made by these soldiers extended to their
loved ones.

Heavyweight Stars Away from war, the 1960s was a big time for popular culture, with British boyband ‘The Beatles’ taking the world by storm. At the same time, the boxer Muhammed Ali was fast becoming one of the world’s greatest sports personalities the world had ever seen.

Make Peace, Not War
At the height of the Vietnam protests, the ‘Flower
Power’ slogan, an expression coined by American Beat
poet Allen Ginsburg, was seen by many of the younger
generation as a means of protest against pro-war
governmental policies and American Dream ideals.
Years later, the flower has become a symbol for hippy
culture and was viewed by many as the catalyst for the
counterculture movement that followed.
