I love how in the videos they have ashtrays and are smoking cigarettes by their desks. I am happy that smoking is not the norm anymore.

This site is such a treasure. Imagine if all of humanity's heritage was copyable/mashable in the same way that the Apollo videos and telemetry are!

Not working for me. Do they need more donations for servers?

The author of this site was on the No Dumb Questions podcast earlier this month, and gives a great background of the site. Well worth a listen. Here's a PocketCast link for anyone interested. https://pca.st/episode/6c543b4d-fe29-41be-a826-d3ad52bbfaa6 https://pca.st/episode/6c543b4d-fe29-41be-a826-d3ad52bbfaa6

This is incredible! If you like this, there's a great podcast series that goes through the final 13 minutes of Apollo 11's descent to the lunar surface https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p083t547 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p083t547 A few few years back there was a kickstarter for a reconstruction of one of the Apollo 11 manuals, the flight manual - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/apollo-11-flight-plan-re-issue#/ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/apollo-11-flight-plan-re-... - i bought one and the quality is incredible, i always wished that group would do more of this ilk, their execution was fantastic.

  Would it be possible to do something like this for current and future missions?
  - bfeist 6y ago
    100% I've been hired at NASA to do just that. I'm currently working on a similar system for flight controllers to use internally for ISS spacewalks (like the one happening right now). Ultimately I'll be creating a system that supports our return to the moon with the Artemis program.
    - MoonJamValets 6y ago
      The Apollo site is created by people outside NASA, right? Is that possible for ISS and Artemis?
      - bfeist 6y ago
        Possibly, long after the fact when the historical material is in the National Archives. But I'm within NASA now, and I have optimistically already registered artemisinrealtime.org. I'll be making something.

  No questions, but just wanted to let you know that sometimes when I need to focus I play this along lo-fi hip hop tunes and it’s just beautiful.

    Much appreciated. I'm partial to streaming soma.fm next to it
