A real-time interactive journey through the Apollo 17 mission.
"When I left the Moon and started up the ladder, I was really at a loss. I didnât want to leave and I looked down at my last footsteps and realised I wasnât coming this way again. Looking back over my shoulder at the Earth had a particular significance to me â it was alive, it was moving, with purpose and beauty through space and time. In those short few minutes I wanted to figure out what was the meaning of us â everyone alive in the world todayâ¦I wanted to press the freeze button, stop time to give myself a chance to think about it."
The last man to walk on the moon

There's a similar thing going on over at @RealTimeWWII https://twitter.com/RealTimeWWII.
A chap from the Museum of London is live tweeting the second world war for the next 6 years. It's incredible.
We got so excited at work that we created an interactive 3D website for it for fun... https://wwii.fxdigital.uk

I'm going to turn 50 this spring, and the only memories I'll have of any moon-landing will be hazy recollections of being allowed to stay up later than usual because "he should see it". Come on guys. I don't even care which country does it. Make it happen again before I die.

(desktop / tablet only). The countdown has started and launch will occur just after 12:30AM EST tonight.
For the next 13 days, you can drop back into the site to see what was happening "right now", 45 years ago. It's a cool sensation that I hope everyone enjoys.
