40 years ago - Apollo 11 as if right now
passing this along from another forum member friend. it's really awesome to view and listen to. click on all the buttons, etc.
"40 years ago, Apollo 11 landed on the moon. This web site is recreating the mission in real time. www.http://wechoosethemoon.org - turn up your volume, also control it on the web page. You will hear transmission from the crew to NASA and see footage of the mission as it unfolds again. (they are sleeping now) They will go into lunar orbit today around noon and will land on Monday. I was glued to our black & white TV the mission and took a photo of the landing with a really old Brownie box camera…. Bill " |

How time flys by so fast. I remember the whole family sitting down if front of our B/W television and watching the broadcast. It was an exiting time to first witness this spectacular event.
This past week the anniversary has been in the news everyday because of the connection between Neil and Purdue University. Neil had donated some of his possessions to his graduating university. One of the events at Purdue today will be a newly restored video images of the first moon walk that is clearer then the original along with photos taken from a recent flyby of the moon showing the things left on the surface of the moon. Yes, we were really there.... Lloyd...

I flew to Florida to see the launch. It was so loud that when the noise reached us, we couldn't hear the helicopter that had been hovering close by.
Afterwards, I flew to Houston, wangled a press pass, and followed the mission from the Mission Control Center auditorium. The tension during the landing was indescribable. How times have changed.... |
