plus a dash of situation awareness

A really cool thing I am enjoying over the weekend is that the John F.
Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is replying the Apollo 11
mission audio in real time at http://wechoosethemoon.org. It has some
nice animations showing the what is going on. As I post this, the audio
is silent and the spacecraft is behind the moon (loss of signal) doing
the lunar orbital insertion burn. Landing is in a little over 26 hours
(forty years ago....).

Here's the NASA's riposte to the "it was all shot in Universal's back
lot" conspiracy theorists: the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's photos of
the Apollo landing sites.
