I searched, didn't see anything relevant. If I missed it, delete it, or move to the correct section accordingly.

Anywho, a friend of mine sent me a link to this earlier, looks interesting for those who might be interested. I think I'll keep up with it.

"Apollo 11 Blasts off Again on July 16th at WeChooseTheMoon.org"

"WeChooseTheMoon.org, http://www.wechoosethemoon.org, will go live on July 16, 2009 at 8:02 a.m. and will take off at 9:32 a.m. – exactly 40 years to the minute after the historic launch. The site, powered by AOL, will recreate Apollo 11’s lunar mission, minute by minute, with an interactive experience that lets visitors experience the mission as it happened, using archival audio, video, photos and “real-time” transmissions on the site and via Twitter."

It would be a pretty cheap production, considering the stage and props have been in place since 1969!

I was thinking you'd chime in Kmarion, lol. I've always been facinated by space flight too.

It looks like it'll be really interesting. I turned 2 when they were on their trip, so I have know memory of it of course, other than old footage you see on TV.

The flag is there, yet no legal claims to the moon have ever been made.
