Thanks for the share. I'm the author of the site and am happy to answer any questions.

Do you have, or do you plan, any kind of write up on what all went into building this site? I know that I, for one, would love to know more about what it takes to pull off coordinating all these different media sources and on-screen effects and what-not.

Definitely. I'll be posting at benfeist.com in the coming days. I needed to get it out there first!

This site is almost unbelievably great. Have you considered trying to contact the Smithsonian to see if they'd be interested in using it? I've never seen a more impressive interactive exhibit.

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 have. They're not interested.

This is an absolute masterpiece! virtual hat off to you sir

One issue! Sharing isn't using the OpenGraph metatags, likely because it's following: And the root doesn't have any of the OG metatags. Quick fix: 1) change og:url to include /11/ or 2) add the OG metadata to the root

Just did both. Thanks!

That's a shame (for them).

Your URL structure suggests you may be planning to do this for other Apollo missions, is that in the cards?

Edit: I see you've done this for Apollo 17 already on a different URL: https://apollo17.org/
