If you've never seen this coverage, I urge you to watch at least the landing segment (~10 min.) and the first 10-20 minutes of the Moon walk. I hope that with the old time TV display and poor YouTube quality, you get a small sense of how someone 40 years ago might have experienced it.

So the landing will play about an hour from now, and the moonwalk in a bit less than 8 hours. I've got the window open; this might be pretty interesting. Click over for full details; note that this is just like old-fashioned TV: if you miss it, you've missed it, though I suspect you could watch it at your leisure on the U-tubes.
