I'm no expert, but it looks like you have a virus hijacking your traffic. What's with the .xn--org urls? Or maybe it's just a super overzealous adblocker.

I have. They're not interested.

This is sadly typical from my own experience with institutions like that -- too many mini-kings and queens who are only interested in their own self-preservation and glory.

In defence of museums (who in my experience working with them for ~20 years) aren't like this at all - this is probably more a case of hitting up the wrong person at what is after all an enormous organisation...

I wholeheartedly agree with what everyone else is saying: "Truly incredible", "almost unbelievably great", "REALLY amazing", "unprecedented", "I love it", "the attention to detail is extraordinary", "an absolute masterpiece", "so awesome", "absolutely remarkable", "Incredible", etc... In a comment you mentioned not having much money. I would highly recommend taking a day or two to set up a Kickstarter or similar for…

In the Information Age, value is chiefly derived from organization & presentation of information, rather than simply its availability.

Thank you. This is really incredible work. Is the source code available anywhere? I trust you’ll keep this online for the foreseeable future but this should be preserved and redundantly available in case anything happens.

Yes and no. You can find the Apollo17.org source code that this site has extended, here https://github.com/bfeist/Apollo17 . That said, the media elements and photography and some of the other material isn't on github (too big).

Maybe archive.org can do something great with your site?

This is tremendous. Is this any relation to wechoosethemoon.org from a few years back (2009)? The site is still there but needs flash, there's a YouTube video of the site here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlFbX3SHbOk

No relation. That was a paid campaign by the JFK Library done by Martin Agency. The good old days of Flash :)

I was the primary producer on this at the agency that designed/developed it Domani Studios (Now defunct) if you have any questions.

I'd like to report as of June 21st at 4pm CDT, the site now works beautifully in my Linux Mint/Firefox system. I've made no changes other than a Firefox update was automatically installed so whatever you did - THANKS!
