#32This is an impressive, immersive experience. Any plans to write about the software or share parts of it?
It's a bit of a messy bedroom. Ideally, I'd get some real software devs involved to rewrite it using a modern framework. This is just a pile of JS and some JQuery.
One thing of note is that there's no server-side services in this architecture. The browser does all of the work itself. Kind of remarkable when you think about it.

This is REALLY amazing. Thank you for making this. The amount of data / information available at my fingertips on this one site is... unprecedented. And I even figured out how to use it!
Great to hear. I'm so close to it, at this point I have no idea if it's usable or confusing.
I found it obvious and intuitive, despite the multiple ways of navigating, and the attention to detail is extraordinary. Now I want that three layer seek on other video sites! I love that each photo - most of which I've never seen or knew existed - appears at the precise moment it was taken and you can click through to a full size.
You managed a work of art. I am deeply impressed. The web needs more sites like this. This is what the web should be. I hope you have the bandwidth for when the BBC or similar inevitably find it. :)
My very hazy memories of watching the launch and landing in 69 (honestly probably of Apollo 17 in 72 - they've mostly all merged together in the memory now), here in the UK, are recreated wonderfully!
Bloody well done!

Truly incredible work. The multitrack visualization is a really great UI, and it does wonders communicating just how much teamwork went into managing these missions. I had no idea all the mission control workstations were recorded, and how active they all were even when the crew was doing an unrelated task. Some small thoughts: when a desk is selected it would be great to deselect it by clicking it again to go back t…
Yeah I was a little confused about how to go back to Master, too.
Agreed this site is mindblowing - thanks for all the hard work!

#35But where is the telemetry data? Oh it got all erased. Every single tape. Whoops.

Really awesome, how long did it take you to put together?

#38My god this is truly an incredible accomplishment.
What a great experience for the enthusiast and a great aid to education.
Do you have any sort of donation link? I'd love for other missions to be archived in a similar manner.

Just wanted to say thanks. This is a little piece of magic. That's what technology is for, I guess.

About 2 years. I did a similar site for Apollo 17 before this one (Apollo17.org), which took 6 years. This time I knew what I was doing and could just do it.
