  This is really nicely done. Can you give a brief explanation of how you made it? One thing I was looking for, and might have missed, but is there a planetary/trajectory view where we can see the craft go through space in time with the events?

    I made it in these steps: - OCR data - Create timeline in premiere, time media to orig transcript (36 8-hour videos) - clean data by watching premiere by reading along OCRed data - Sync data with youtube playback via JS - create navigation scheme using paper.js - build data lazy loader in JS - collect photography, treat photography, time photography to timeline - ask my good friend, Chris to make it look nice for me The whole site is client-side. The entire mission is loaded into the browser upon start. There's no server-side. Ironic given that my roots are as a server-side dev. It took me years. I blogged about the making of here if you're interested: http://benfeist.com/category/apollo/ http://benfeist.com/category/apollo/

      Absolutely brilliant - I've only just had a chance to enjoy the first 15 minutes or so, and will be back for more when I have time, but thanks hugely for this immensely immersive experience. A real labour of love, but well worth it if the way I've just felt is anything to go by. I know that this will be taking up a lot of my time in the near future.
