This website replays the Apollo 11 mission as it happened, 51 years ago. It consists entirely of historical material.

Select whether to begin one minute before launch, or click "Now" to drop in exactly 51 years ago, to-the-second during the anniversary.

The mobile edition features Apollo 11's Mission Control audio. Select a Mission Control audio channel by touching the seats in mission control, or the channel buttons below. These 50 channels of Mission Control audio have only recently been digitized and restored, and are made publicly available here for the first time. They total over 11,000 hours in length.

The full desktop/laptop version of this website contains all of the mission's historical media. Footage of Mission Control, film shot by the astronauts, television broadcasts transmitted from space and the surface of the Moon, have all been painstakingly placed to the very moments they were shot during the mission, as has every photograph taken, and every word spoken.

Please contact Ben Feist for any inquiries.
