It's a great example of how modern technology can shed new light on a historic event. I can remember my Mom forcing me when I was 8 years old to watch the live broadcast of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. She told me that one day I would be telling my kids and grandkids that I saw it happen live. I don't remember what I wanted to do rather than watch it, but at the time it didn't seem like such a significant event. Thanks Mom!

We Choose The Moon
If you haven't already seen it, you should check out We Choose the Moon - it's a recreation of the Apollo 11 lunar mission. It uses a wide range of media (web, streaming audio/video, twitter) and is broadcasting behind the scenes footage in real time exactly 40 years after it happened.
