The Web site will provide animated recreations of the primary events from the mission, including when the astronauts first put the lunar module Eagle/command module Columbia into orbit about the Moon, when the Eagle first separated from Columbia, and the flight down to the lunar surface by Armstrong and Aldren.
The animation will include the actual radio transmissions between the astronauts and the CAPCOM (capsule communicator) at the Mission Control Center (MCC) at the NASA Johnson Space Center, in Houston, Texas.
According to the AP article, “The Web site's name was taken from [a] speech Kennedy gave in 1962, when he said: ‘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 that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone and one which we intend to win.’”
