Experience the Apollo 11 Lunar Mission

Sent to me by a friend and posted almost a year ago, this article originally posted on chipchicklets.com discusses a simply amazing site.

If your parents or grandparents were around during the first moon landing, then chances are they remember that day clearly. Now, we too can experience some of the excitement of that time. In celebration of the 40th anniversary since the landing on the moon, AOL and the JFK Presidential Library will be re-creating the first moon landing at www.wechoosethemoon.org. The interactive site will go live on July 16 at 8:02 am and will launch at 9:32 am This is exactly 40 years to the minute after the historic launch. The site will re-create Apollo 11’s lunar mission, minute by minute, with an interactive experience that lets visitors experience the mission as it happened, using archival audio, video, photos and “real-time” transmissions on the site and via Twitter.
