Apollo 11 moon mission to be recreated on the web

July 13th, 2009 | Category: Gadget Reviews

While the shuttle Endeavour is having a conditioned instance getting off of the launch pad, the Apollo 11 moon mission should proceed as scheduled later that week. Some 40 years after Neil Armstrong and a host of behind-the-scenes workers at NASA made JFK’s vision a reality, WeChooseTheMoon.org is being launched to recreate the whole spectacle. Starting a full 90 minutes prior to the 40th anniversary (that’s 8:02AM on July 16th), the site will be fully operational, tracking the capsule’s route from Earth to the moon. Reportedly, visitors will be able to peek “animated recreations of key events from the four-day mission, including when Apollo 11 first orbits the moon and when the lunar module separates from the command module.” whether you’re one of those who remembers “exactly where you were on that fateful day,” you should probably queue up a Google ready and bookmark your browser to relive the whole experience again.
