This is really an incredible idea. What a way for the younger generations to see such a great moment in their nation's history. I can't help but wonder what future communication mediums will enable.

I'm just sad that it's been 40 years and we have to virtually recreate something that we should now be more than capable of doing.

There isn't really a hyperlink in that article, so here's the link to the actual website.

It doesn't have much of an intro, so I thought people here would appreciate the backstory provided in the Herald article.

If you're having trouble loading the all-Flash site, as I was, the actual Twitter feeds are:

Would be a very cool exercise to re-create at www.almost.at , though in fairness to prevent modern-day noise (Tweet:"OMG - Brad got mooned at the Apollo!!!!") it might need to be faked, which would override the very cool purpose of that very cool site.
