Cool.

Very cool thanks for posting that.

Thanks!

I recommend that everyone on here should watch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_(2019_film) ASAP.

It's now live, 50 years ago to the second!

I was a beta tester for this website experience. Every video, audio and photo is there, synced from the second, from hours from launch to splashdown, even sleep cycles.

This version (there's an older Apollo 17 version) includes the Mission Control flight controller loops.

Click the "Now" button and it time warps you to the very moment (based on your time zone) today, the 50th anniversary of the launch, which is at 9:32 EDT.

Unfortunately, it looks like 'Now' is an hour ahead of schedule here, in the UK. Possibly British Summer Time has stuck its nose in the timezone calculation?

In any case I can go to the correct time with the timeline.

That aside, I absolutely love the website, I really do get the tiniest taste of what it must have been like at the time, although already knowing it succeeds alters that.

That's exactly the "problem." The site recognizes US Daylight Saving Time and similar changes in other places. But yeah, just click on the timeline anywhere and enjoy, synching up to it later.

Love listening to this and actually knowing what mission control are talking about. That's thanks to KSP

Cool website!

Fun Fact: The landing legs on the LEM were made in Canada after Grumman couldn’t find an American contractor that could get it done.

The creator is @bfeist, methinks.  Fine work, sir.

My dad recognized one of the people in that movie. The groovy woman with the orange sunglasses filming the launch. Apparently it's one of his mom's old friends.

I'm watching live with the flight plan open at my side.

Ben Feist...that's right!

He also contributed work to the Apollo 11 feature film recently released.

I've been tuned in for the past 3 days. I keep having to remind myself that this occurred 50 years ago.

LOI burn complete is "now" complete... So much better than reading a transcript! It felt like I was riding in the jump seat.

Good stuff live right now, 50 years ago...

Undocking of Eagle coming up.
