Let's hope the anniversary of the landing knocks the usual tedious ste off the news headlines. But I doubt it.
I don't think 45 years is significant enough for most media to acknowledge the event - although I have to say it was a news bulletin on Radio 4 that brought the subject up in the first place.Not really comparable events (if you can call Facebook an "event"). Both influential - although in ten years time Facebook will probably not exist - at least in the way it does today.
Facebook is just one part of a process rather than an event in itself.
The event of Apollo 11 itself is probably not that significant. What was far more significant was the Apollo programme in its entirety. I am pretty sure an awful lot of what we have today (including Facebook) was massively influenced by the technologies developed and perfected during the Apollo era).
