From the website,
This website replays the Apollo 11 mission as it happened, 50 years ago. It consists entirely of historical material, all timed to Ground Elapsed Time--the master mission clock. Footage of Mission Control, film shot by the astronauts, and television broadcasts transmitted from space and the surface of the Moon, have been painstakingly placed to the very moments they were shot during the mission, as has every photograph taken, and every word spoken.
I just got told about it by a friend, and - it's impressive. I joined the "stream" - I'm unsure if they are streaming this right now, or if the material is just online and repeats cyclically - at 01:17 in the mission. At one point Armstrong offered Collins some gum.
The fact that it lasted nine days is just mind-boggling to me. I never really thought about it much, but - they spent nine days, cooped up in a seventies tin can, with a computer less powerful than the average graphing calculator, further away from home than any other human before them. They landed on the moon, and they came back.
