Super awesome photo archive of the Apollo 11 project and landing right here. A fitting commemoration for the 40th anniversary of the whole thing. Certainly a better effort that the one from the ‘tards at CNN, who mark the day by putting a story about the “it was all a hoax” morons on the top of their home page.

The pictures are glorious. Enjoy.

UPDATE: In a fitting tribute to both the Apollo mission and the legendary Walter Cronkite, Kottke will stream the original coverage in Walter’s own words at exactly 40 years (to the second!) later. And yes, I am aware that you could just go watch all the clips whenever you wanted, but this is much cooler, so shush.

Just leave the page open and your volume up and you won’t miss a thing. The show starts at 16:10 EDT, and in the immortal words of Billy Red Lyons … “Don’t you dare miss it!”
