Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Mission to the moon.

As part of the celebration, NASA is playing the radio transmissions between
Mission Control and the space craft in real time, minus 40 years.

I'm not sure what the time zone will be, since it isn't specified anywhere,
but sometime today, between 3:00 - 5:00, the lunar module will be landing on
the moon. About six hours later, Cmd. Neil Armstrong will take his historic
first steps on the moon.
