The Internet

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, NASA is using wechoosethemoon.org to create an online version of the launch. Since it’s online, though, the astronauts have Twitter feeds, you can listen to the broadcast on Shoutcast, and track the mission with a desktop widget. You can also rest comfortably in the knowledge that your laptop has far more computing power than what was aboard the lunar module, and you’re using it to update your Facebook entry.
