I find this pretty interesting, Apollo 11 mission "live" after 40 years. You can hear the whole mission radio chatter along with images and videos from each stage.

The tech they worked with to reach the moon is just insane. It's sad that with todays technology there is so little enthusiasm for a second manned mission to the moon or even mars. Obviously the economy and other issues hamper it but still...

Afew years ago I was in a computers hardware store with some friends and we were discussing some of the graphics cards we saw on the shelf. (Those are now ancient.)
As we were talking, an old man (he wasnt naked) came from behind us and said "You know? They used far less to go to the moon!"

we got no real benefit from it, we just know we can do it if we want but we dont need to do it, at least until they make teleportation technology, which I don't think i would use, i dont like the idea of being disintegrated and reintegrated somewhere else while my particles fly through some kind of wormhole hell and end up fused with some horrible crap on the other side...

Agreed, it seems like the excitement of space exploration died down in 90's with the economy changing and the "competitor" of USA disappearing . . . Space Shuttles are to be retired in 2010(with no replacement), and International Space Station will be abandoned and deorbited in 2015. 3 years after completion.
Though, NASA has plans for a moon landing in the range of 2020-2040. With the introduction of Atlas rockets(one of them has more than double thrust of Saturn V) in the Orion project.
The only way I see the excitement return is for economical reasons. For example mining on the moon (helium 3 is very attractive) in current state.

I use Opera, it wouldnt even load, but probably it's because I've diabled cookies. It worked fine in FF3.5 for me, but maybe you run some noscript or nocookie plugin?

Amazing site. Spacetravel is the greatest achievement in the history of mankind. Astronauts/Kosmonauts are true heroes.
