Fascinating material, thanks for posting this! It's still mindboggling how much infrastructure and effort went into this. We're listening to an entire army of engineers and controllers (most of them still "kids" in their 20s) in a concerted effort to get this thing off the ground. Nobody knows the exact number of people involved in the Apollo 11 mission, but figures have been quoted into the several thousand. Even more impressive that is that, just 7 years earlier when JFK made his famous "we choose to go" speech in '62, nobody had a clue how to get to the moon (never mind beyond) , and the necessary tech had to be developed -- some totally from scratch. These guys were in complete no-man's-land, with formidable unknowns to deal with.
I remember that all children in my neighborhood understand the difference between "Lunar Module" and "Command Module". The unique thing was, whenever someone started to talk about "Apollo" -- we sang in unison -- the Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down".
I've been watching "live [+50 yrs]" at the website since early on the 16th, and just noticed that UA-cam pops up the video/audio in 8 hour chunks. What does the "SD" prefix to the titles on UA-cam mean?
There is a high definition (HD) and SD (standard definiton) I think. The latter is lower resolution, the former is higher, I guess. rudd-o.com/archives/the-difference-between-standard-sd-and-high-definition-hd-or-high-def-tv
The shadow on the clouds at 1:01:07 is amazing.

It would be great to translate all this material into different languages, so that everyone can enjoy the experience even more. Good job, guys!
Superbe, comme si c'était hier ! Le rêve continue ....
This is so cool! The mobile app is running way behind, though. Thanks for your work on this.

This is soooo fucking cool!! good job mate!! i know what i'm doing for the next week
How where the earth-orbit sections filmed around 1:10:00 ?
Or are these illustrations for public relations?
I'm also curious about how they got the camera shot for 1:11:35 . Stunning, but also I imagine they sacrificed a camera and radio transmitter?
These are old animations done by CBS during the mission
They were not filmed lol.
You've got to be kidding me? You can't tell that that's a mannequin? Good luck when the aliens invade in 2025 ..
Are you the same one who did the Apollo 17 flight in real time as well?
Yes I am!
LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!
