Apollo 11 Mission Recreated
With the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission upon is, this is a pretty neat site that's recreating the mission in real time
The archived videos are pretty cool to see We Choose the Moon: Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing

Re: Apollo 11 Mission Recreated
Yahoo had a note that the original tapes were lost --- Let the conspiracy theorists run wild!

Re: Apollo 11 Mission Recreated
Yeah the dopes erased the originals. And the company who is digitizing these copies typically do historical preservation of...wait for it...wait for it...Hollywood movies.

Re: Apollo 11 Mission Recreated
I was five when they landed on the moon and I can remember playing on the floor as my mom ironed cloths as we watched it on TV. Funny how you can remember certain stuff in life.

Re: Apollo 11 Mission Recreated
Wow that's almost exactly what is depicted in the EPCOT center, Spaceship Earth ride. You all didn't model for it did you?

Re: Apollo 11 Mission Recreated
I am starting feel like they faked it. Why would we never go back? Been there done that, I guess.

Re: Apollo 11 Mission Recreated
Didn't NASA go back like five or six times after that?

Re: Apollo 11 Mission Recreated
6 manned landings in total. And I guess if you count Apollo 13 there were 7 attempts to land.

Re: Apollo 11 Mission Recreated
Too bad it isn't in the original. As the original is the original, as they say.

Ok they made five fake videos. Maybe they faked it to get Americans exicited about space travel thus help increase funding. Who knows but I still find it weird we have not been back in a long time. Have we learned all we have to know about the moon?
