We Choose The Moon

History has been reenacted by enthusiasts for every period from the Middle Ages to the Civil War. Now the greatest voyage of exploration in history is being reenacted in a manner befitting the Internet age at the site We Choose the Moon.

We Choose the Moon is being sponsored by the JFK Presidential Library and Museum and is depicting the voyage of Apollo 11 in real time, with animated videos, audios from the capcom, and all in real time. There are popups that contain graphics and other information about the voyage of of Apollo 11.

The We Choose the Moon site will also allow people to follow the mission of Apollo 11 on twitter. We Choose to Go to the Moon can be shared on social networks such as Facebook and MySpace.

The voyage will be reenacted on We Choose the Moon through the landing on July 20th, exactly forty years from the very minute from when it happened in 1969. Afterward, people will be able to examine the mission of Apollo 11 as they wish.

We Choose the Moon is a remarkable way to follow a historic event such as Apollo 11 and perhaps provides a foretaste of things to come. Forty years ago, people followed Apollo 11 with media technology that seems positively stone age to the 21st Century; analog TV, newspapers, and magazines.

I'm going to really enjoy this. I had a major crush on Michael Collins when I was a teenager.

The only problem...and I'm sorry for this but now I have this stuck in my head....
