amazing! So when exactly does it kick off?

I love the picture on the front screen - I've never seen that one before. I've been looking for a good A0 sized image for the bedroom wall, I think that would be perfect!

It started yesterday - you can see from the start just before launch or click now to see the current position (I think!)

Totally Brilliant, the  'moon landings never happened' conspiracy theorists should be made to watch it from start to finish.

I still get a 'buzz' of seeing the Saturn V launches.

Yes, definitely! ...or 'roast' them at the next rocket launch. (damn it! ...we no longer live in the middle ages).

Yup, the high speed footage from the base of the pad is something to behold. I was most impressed when Jeff Bezos spent some of his pocket money to recover the F-1 engines from the bottom of the Atlantic.

They woudl just take it as proof you can simulate an entire moon mission! it's even got the 'script' for the actors to read...
