We Choose the Moon: Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing

Wechoosethemoon.org is an interactive experience recreating the historic Apollo 11 mission to the Moon in real time. Once where only three men made the trip, now millions can. Live event begins 9:32 AM EDT July 16, 2009. Exactly 40 years after Apollo 11 lifted off.
20 years ago, I spent the Apollo 11 anniversary at the National Air & Space Museum, and they recreated the events in real time on video monitors all around the museum, i.e. the landing was shown at 4:17pm EDT.
This looks to be an even better way to relive it!
EDIT: Sorry, y'all! I should've included these links, too...

Apollo Flight Journal

Apollo Lunar Surface Journal

Follow the timestamps on the Journals in combo with the timers on WeChooseTheMoon to avoid the long periods of static on the Air-to-Ground audio while the astronauts are sleeping or eating (or just not talkative).
NASA's also released the onboard audio for the mission, but the quality is not impressive...

RIP Walter Cronkite

But wait - doesn't the "fact" that you can do it here without leaving Earth "prove" that men never landed on the Moon?

Sadly, there's quite a bit of lag between the two audio streams.

Here's the original Apollo 11 videotape, lost for 39 years until this month. Too bad CNN got the date wrong:

Funny how on the Apollo tapes, there's no delay for radio to travel 500,000 miles between the Earth and the Moon at 186,000 miles per second. Hard to have a conversation with a 2.5-second delay...
Too bad no photo exists of any Apollo lander on the Moon.

Too bad NASA can't build a real Moon rocket that can fly, and now never will:

Too bad NASA can't even find its own videotape and computer tapes from Apollo 11 after 40 years.

Too bad Apollo was named for SATAN.

Too bad Big Brother keeps 2 sets of books since 1957, but sends you to prison if you do it.

Too bad Uncle Scam hasn't printed its own money or kept its income taxes since 1917.

Too bad its been 45 years since CIA whacked JFK Sr in Operation Northwoods, and 10 years since it whacked JFK Jr.
Too bad Amerikans are the dumbest sheeple on the planet.
Who forgot the frakkin rocket exhaust?!
"No manned spacecraft now exists that can withstand the radiation from the Van Allen belts, through which a craft must traverse to make it to the Moon."

That didn't take long.
