The Mission Clock just started realtime +50 years!

Please join me in reliving this AMERICAN journey, one that I was just a bit too young(6) to understand the gravity of which at the time.

Awesome, terrific and very cool website.

[edwinland]

AMAZING!!!!

Thanks for posting

pulled this up just in time to see the LEM docking maneuver. still got goosebumps.

The now button doesn't take you back to today yet but

you can scroll back to realtime manually.

If you have a 4K, full screen is truly remarkable.

The gang at Mission Control didn't have as good a seat.

The Apollo 11 launch was 13:32 UTC 16 Jul - think I will go this website tomorrow morning and click the 1 min before launch and follow the entire Apollo 11 from launch to splashdown in “real-time” plus 50 years!

Too bad these web idiots can’t let these webpages work in a 1969 browser. What I mean is I need to latest and greatest computer to view this site about history from 50 years ago.

I cannot even view on a year old browser.

Say a prayer for my lovely wife Ann

Hopefully this won't drive her over the edge

I'm beginning to understand why my Elmers

had HAM Shacks.

I guess when you watch this amazing history and accomplishment - you are going to conclude that “America never was that great”. /s

These Dems are swimming upstream if they think their Anti-American platform will resonate outside the 10% radical Left.

So much for me getting anything done for the next couple of days.

I was a very young child.

My father dragged me out of bed sometime after 9PM Eastern, sat me in front of our old black-and-white television, and told me that I’d want to tell my grandchildren that I had seen this.

He was right.

Yes and you can easily navigate

to any point in time you like by

clicking on one of the three scroll bars at the top.


The reason I posted this thread was

to coordinate with

the start of the Mission Clock at

-20:46:05( +50 years) which was at 11:45:54 CDT today.

I have an upstairs and a garage.

[infool7]

I was six at the time.

My memories are similar but only a foggy blur of those events.

I feel a bit like Bill Whittle in this piece -

This is phenomenal.

I was 17, in basic training at Fort Lewis.

On Sunday, July 20th, 1969, my Dad came down to visit me on our off day and we met in a gymnasium that was set up with tables for visitors.

Dad brought with him a bucket of KFC, a 6-pack of coke and a transistor radio and we listened to the radio as the Lunar landing module ascended to the moon.

A historic day and still burned into my memory.

50 Years ago, I was at Jetty Park at Port Canaveral to watch the launch. Tomorrow I’ll be at KSC Saturn V center, bright and EARLY to celebrate the anniversary.

[infool7]

Do you think they will bring a few of these when we go back?

Doubt it. The fuel and oxidizer tanks would be pretty bulky. And they couldn’t fly by simply re-directing air downwards, like this does, because . . . . . . . Well, you know.

[infool7]

Yeah...:/

MOONDUST.

The site is all synced up and

the Now button is working.

It was a bug

@Ben Feist got it fixed.

They just finished a most riveting discussion

about re-calibrating the thumb wheels on the gimbals in the capsule.

This stuff is nerd meth.
