Reloaded - 5 August 2009: This edition of the show highlights a few of the important anniversaries this summer.

Military alliance NATO celebrates it's 60th, while it's also 40 years since the first moon landing by a human. Where were you in 1969? Where were some of us at RNW? And it's now New York, New York - but some of it has been Dutch for over 400 years.
