The Moonwalk has been big news in the Viral Video Chart this month. From moonwalking babies, courtesey of Evian's latest video campaign, through clips of MJ's first moonwalk, moonwalk compilations, and the flashmob tribute moonwalk in Stockholm, onto the death of lunar news commentator, Walter Cronkite, and the 40 year anniversary of mankind's inaugural moonwalk, online video viewers have been mad about the moonwalk. One clip riding high in the chart right now imagines what would happen If Man Walked on the Moon Today and a video promoting Google Earth offers viewers the chance to start exploring the moon themselves using Google Earth 5.0.

There's undoubtedly an element of nostalgia here. The king of pop, who brought the moonwalk to streets and dancefloors around the world, is dead. Walter Cronkite, once the most trusted man in America, and the iconic figure who brought news of the very first moon walk to the world, is also dead. NASA's moon programme, despite presidential assertions to the contrary, seems pretty dead in the water right now. So bring on the dancing babies, get yourself down to the nearest moonwalking flashmob (coming to a square near you you soon), and if all else fails type moonwalk into YouTube and kiss goodbye to your weekend.

The moonwalk is dead. Long live the moonwalk!
