Site of the Month July 2009

Smithsonian's Apollo Program Web Site
For those who want to totally relive the Apollo 11 Mission, literally minute by
minute, then this is the site for you:
We Choose the Moon - Sponsored by the John F Kennedy Library and Museum and AOL
The site 'opens' on the 16th July 2009 and runs a real time audio and visual
recreation of the mission lasting 4 days!
