Apollo 11 in real time
Link here. I should have posted this link earlier. As I post this the Saturn 5 has just launched.
Pick your moment. They will be showing the mission in real time over the next week.
Hat tip Steve Golson for prompting me.
Correction: If you go to the link you can either choose to watch from one minute before launch, or click on the “Now” button to see the status at this moment fifty years ago.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I’ll never forget that seconds after the landing, CBS labeled the signal “Live From The Moon” in their on screen broadcast. This at a time when “live” from anywhere else on this planet was rare. I guess that’s the reason it made such a big impact on me. LIVE FROM THE MOON !!!
CBS, btw, was live streaming the original Walter Cronkite newscast of the launch this morning, via YouTube..

Yes– I distinctly recall that as well!
