Apollo 11

Experience Apollo 11 in real time

Apollo 11 in Real Time is a website that will drop you into the mission in progress at that very second, exactly 50 years ago (as I write this, I’m 16 minutes from the nail-biting launch). The website streams photos, television broadcasts, film shot by the astronauts and transcripts of the mission in real time — including, for the first time, 50 channels of mission-control audio.
