Moon Landing: Celebrating 40th Anniversary

It was in BBC news all this month… “Celebrating 40th Anniversary of the moon landing… That’s one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind”. I should say that I was pretty bored with these ads. And now I have this in my Google Reader, too. But this one was definitely more interesting. I don’t know if any of you saw it already.

NASA had put up the video and other documents from the THE DAY. Check out this site. The “Interactive Features” link allows you to walk (?) through the Lunar surface and explore some points of interests. There is also a transcript of the conversation on-board. And few other interesting pieces of news for all those who are interested.

Additional Info: NASA is playing this Apollo 11 Mission, that happened on July 24, 1969. Tune in to NASA’s Radio to hear to it. Also, the audio transcripts are available (but be prepared yourself mentally to read more than 1300 pages ;) )
