The Apollo 11 Flight Plan - Free to Download!

The entire 300+ pages are here:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/72979785/A...11-Flight-Plan
sample page here:
http://www.archives.gov/historical-d...light-plan.pdf

I found it nerdily interesting to read, the entire flight plan is now available for download from NASA.

They also made the audio transcripts available.

Interesting read!
I would recommend getting one of the PDF versions from here: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11-fltplan.htm instead of using, and paying for, Scribd.

The transcripts have also been around for ages, my favorite is the Apollo 13 transcript where you can see that Lovell never said "Houston, we have a problem", I guess that's catchier than what he actually said which was the past tense "We've had a problem". Minor difference though I suppose...
