Apollo 11 annotated landing

Someone mentioned the http://www.firstmenonthemoon.com/ web page over at JREF.  Basically, it's a JavaScript app playing the audio, with synchronized film, transcript, and other data (such as LM attitude and Armstrong's heart rate) around the page.  Worth checking out.

That was most excellent, I found it rather therapeutic. I was working while listening, and that's so much better than working to music.

Somebody did a lot of work to get that together.

That's what I thought, all so I could have chills run down my spine. Amazing stuff.

Take out of obligatory shots of chain smoking from the retelling and everyone seems so calm.

That made me giggle Glom. Thanks.

The ALSJ and AFJ transcripts have been cleaned up a lot from the original NASA transcripts, thanks to both the editors and the readers, so it's worth it to start with them instead of re-applying existing corrections.

But the transcripts there include only Net-1, i.e., the air-to-ground loop, and not the flight director loop, and that would be a valuable addition for at least the more historic excerpts. And the Apollo 11 landing certainly qualifies.
