A very cool new website launched today in honor of the anniversary of the Apollo 11 movie landing forty (!) years ago this month. The site is called We Choose the Moon, and it was produced by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library.  The site recreates the entire mission, minute by minute. As I write this just over 63 hours to launch. You can follow the real-time mission on Twitter here.

The site’s name is based on President Kennedy’s speech from 1969 calling on the United States to put a man on the moon.

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because the challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone and one which we intend to win.
