Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16, 1969, carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin into an initial Earth-orbit of 114 by 116 miles. Fran Blanche did an incredible job compiling retro audio and video from various sources that takes us inside mission control, Via Youtube!

I meticulously synchronized the console audio from the Booster, CAPCOM, Flight, and RETRO feeds with footage from dozens of sources to come up with an experience close to what you would have gotten being on the inside of Mission Control on a headset for the launch of Apollo 11 on the morning of July 16, 1969. Enjoy!
