On Sunday I mentioned the new site, WeChooseTheMoon.org, highlighting this week is the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11. Here are a half dozen links — news articles, a narrated, interactive mission walk-through, photography and more — to keep your palette wet until Monday at 10:56PM EDT, the exact moment when Neil Armstrong set foot on the Lunar surface.
- Remembering Apollo 11 at The Big Picture
- John Noble Wilford, who covered the Apollo 11 mission for The New York Times, narrates a look back at the historic journey.
- One Hand for Space History, as Superpowers Spar. The New York Times
- Maps of the Apollo 11 moon walks superimposed on a soccer pitch and a baseball diamond. (Re-link from January)
- Extreme profanity at it’s best: The Onion reports on the Moon landing.
- Apollo 11 40th anniversary at NASA.gov
