This is a weekend of writing for me. I’m holed up in a quiet breezy room with two laptops and a stack of statements, letters, and essays to work through (currently: 2 of 12).
I just ran across a fabulous moonshot website via SJv‘s photostream, however, that deserves immediate blogging. In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, it is a multimedia site broadcasting a real-time reenactment of the launch, flight and landing. Even the name of the site is a pleasure : we choose the moon. They are currently in Stage 6, with almost 2 days to go before moon-landing.
Take a look! It’s a fantastic site to share with teachers and children as well, since links to the primary sources are all neatly integrated with artist’s renderings of the elements involved.
