Last night I finished watching a series called "From the earth to the moon". I think it was the first of Tom Hanks' forays into docu-drama (coming after the movie Apollo 13).
As you might guess from the title the series follows the events leading up to the first landing on the moon and afterwards to the final Apollo mission in 1972. As a series it is an excellent examination of the people involved in the American Space effort, from Astronauts to their wives, to the contractors and everyone else involved.

While getting my morning twitter fix this morning I came across this post by Jeff:
"Astronauts are in the Command Service Module now, almost all the way to the Moon, poking around in the Eagle. 47 hours until landing!"
After a brief period of wondering whether he'd either ingested some good honest Yass "herb" or had infact invented a time machine, I came across wechoosethemoon.org which has been put together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landings.
