An excellent site

I'll be spending most of tomorrow at the game, and then there's work on Monday, but for those of you with free time, follow We Choose the Moon, a site sponsored by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum, which re-creates the mission in real-time, including transmissions. There is also archived information there. There's a nifty widget you can download to your desktop or put on MySpace or Facebook (unfortunately there was no version for this blog). You can also follow the mission on Twitter, both from Houston Control and Apollo 11. Be sure to check it out.

Thanks to M of the World History Blog for the link.

PS 7/20 I was kind of disappointed that I couldn't access the web page from work (it requires Flash 10) or listen to the broadcast from NASA because that required a Windows Media Player plug-in, neither of which I can install, of course. I wanted to listen as I catalogued. Oh, well, instead I listened to the radio and got up and did a lot of things that required me to be up and about.
