Relive The Iconic Apollo 11 Moon Landing Live On Your Computer

• The Apollo 11 moon landing happened 50 years ago. 
• Two websites teamed up to create a historic Livestream that allows visitors to watch the moon landing once again.   
• In addition, you can learn where you need to go to watch the Livestream. 

 

Just a day over 50 years ago on July 16, 1969, humans first walked on the moon. The Apollo 11 moon landing was a very historic event in our history. To honor its 50th anniversary, two websites are coming together to Livestream the event once more. This could be very important for the younger generation who wasn’t around to see the moon landing 50 years ago inspiring curiosity and increased interest in space and science.

Ben Feist from ApolloinRealTime.org and Space.com’s Simulation Curriculum are working together to create something magical. Ben along with Stephen Slater, an archivist, put together Apollo 11 mission video, images, audio, and transcripts. As a result, this creates an incredible timeline of the events where astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins went to the moon.
