Apollo 11 is getting ready to launch!
Today is an important day in America's history. It's the 40th anniversary of the
Apollo 11 launch from Cape Canaveral, FL.
Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the moon. To commemorate
the anniversary, NASA is recreating the mission. You can watch it on today's Cool Site.
The site will show the mission in real time, only 40 years later. You can follow
transmissions between Apollo 11 and Mission Control. They'll be posted to the
site as a Twitter feed.
You'll also find animations recreating important events from the mission. For
example, watch the Eagle separate from the command module.
Of course, there are also plenty of video clips and photographs. There's even audio of the communications between the astronauts and NASA.
Don't forget to sign up for e-mail alerts. You'll be notified when the Eagle lands. Then, you can watch Neil Armstrong take the historic first steps on the moon!
