The JFK Library’s WeChooseTheMoon web site has started recreating the launch that put two men on the moon — if, in fact, that did happen. NASA just admitted it lost the original tapes.
So far, there’s not a lot happening on the site, other than the countdown to launch. Starting at 9:32 this morning — 40 years to the minute from the launch — you can follow the events of the launch on the site and at three twitter feeds. Aside from dinner with the president, so far the tweets aren’t much more exciting than the tweets of anybody else who may or may not be pretending to visit the moon:
