Experience the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing

This is just brilliant! The most interactive and best presentation i've seen of the lunar landing. Well worth watching in its entirety.

Thanks Mohammed,

It is a fabulous multimedia presentation of this historical event and one can see
considerable thought has gone into it.

In all these years I had never heard the flight director's loop before. It really
enhances the drama.

By the way, hope you have been enjoying the SDM.

Best Regards

Gary

Thanks Moh - that was sensational. It really brings into perspective how complex the situation was, and how well trained all the participants were to keep it professional. In particular, Krantz, Duke, Armstrong and Aldrin REALLY earned their pay that day.

Hi Chris,

Totally agree.

It really highlights what an incredible team of really sharp guys they had
assembled.

They're not just thinking on their feet, they're each making sometimes
highly complex decisions in a split second and instantly communicating them.

Unfortunately I haven't had any time recently to take it out and with the inconsistent weather here in Sydney it just makes it more difficult to do so Although I had a sneak peak at the moon using my binoviewers and sdm a few months ago that gave jaw dropping views

Hi Ray,

I watched it again while paying attention to Neil's heart rate I can't believe it hit 150 beats per minute during the descent stage!
