Relive the Apollo 11 launch in real time

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing by launching We Choose the Moon, a new website where you can relive the launch through flash animation, video from the original launch, sound effects, and even Twitter pages.

The site is currently in countdown mode, with the rocket set to "blast off" this Thursday and "land" July 20th. The site has been buggy on my PC, but it does look impressive and it's worth checking out.
