Apollo Plus 40

It’s the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo landings and there’s a lot of good stuff on the web as we hit the actual anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11 (in about 30 mins time in fact)

WeChoosetheMoon is an excellent recreation of the mission in real-time. With audio and video links to experience the launch as it happened.

You can also follow Apolloplus40 for live tweets (well, as-live) and also follow @AP11_CAPCOM, @ap11_spacecraft and @ap11_eagle

The Big Picture continues its amazing series of images with a set of pics of Apollo 11. Some awesome images that are well worth storing for the next time you need to teach about the Moon.
