God I hate reaction videos. I wish there was a filter.

On what basis? Twitter is a private website. I agree that this sucks but really just don’t use twitter.

Unfortunately there’s no lobby paying the bills equivalent to Disney to go the other way.

Apollo historian here, it was sometimes round the clock but even then most stuck to shifts. Check out Apollo 13 at ApolloInRealtime.org. All Mission Control audio is in the app.

Interesting to read how quickly Apple closed loophole, but this article is essentially a long “my prediction was right” piece by the author; good for him.

Yeah, call me when they stop mining crypto.

I'm on it

Author of Apollo in Real Time here. I contacted soma once about maybe partnering or something and got back a "meh"

Hey thanks for the kudos. Honestly I used the difficulty of inventing that timeline thing as an excuse to not start the project for over a decade. Turned out to be pretty straightforward.

When building Apolloinrealtime.org, I never imagined that I would be helping out with NASA flight operations. It's been a wild ride, and our little team is now poised to make a big difference in enabling our return to the Moon.

Anyone interested, please apply. We're a fun team (I promise) working on great stuff.

Hey there. I'm the author of the website. Thanks for the post. Happy to answer any questions.

Possibly, long after the fact when the historical material is in the National Archives. But I'm within NASA now, and I have optimistically already registered artemisinrealtime.org. I'll be making something.

Much appreciated. I'm partial to streaming soma.fm next to it

100% I've been hired at NASA to do just that. I'm currently working on a similar system for flight controllers to use internally for ISS spacewalks (like the one happening right now). Ultimately I'll be creating a system that supports our return to the moon with the Artemis program.

Thanks for the post. I'm the author of this tool and am happy to answer any questions.

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.

It's based of my previous project: https://github.com/bfeist/Apollo17

When it's not during the anniversary 9-day period, it pick the closest time it can and uses today's time of day.

You can hear them on the COMM TECH and NETWORK audio loops.

Sure. Please post any errors in your console.

Yeah, it's nothing special. No trendy JS frameworks. The UI was pretty much just whatever I could think of in terms of layout, then a friend of mine helped to design it up a bit so it didn't look like a developer designed it. Wish I could say it was more involved that that, but it wasn't.

it is. https://github.com/bfeist/Apollo17

Tell him to turn off ad block or antivirus. If he's unable to load in the mission data files through ajax the site will just hang on the splash screen.

It definitely pushes the browser to its limit. Suggest cleaning your head sink though, it's not that bad.

I couldn't think of another way to make mobile work at all. It's asking a lot of the browser

But I'm cheating though using the most interesting and engaging content in human history :)

Thanks for the fresh eyes on this. Just added a "close" button on the mission control audio interface that pops you back to the photography tab and unmutes master audio.

BTW, you can generate links to any channel at any time by clicking the little link button when the mission control audio console is open. Here's the moment in question: https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=171:04:09&ch=14

Sounds like someone's secretary. All phone calls from console were recorded. This is one of those.

Thanks so much. It's been suggested to me countless times that I put promotions on the site or (gasp) enable monetization on the YouTube video portion of the site. Nope. Like you, I dream of the Internet being a better place--the place it was in 1997 but with modern technology.
