In tribute to both the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and the passing of Walter Cronkite, blogger Jason Kottke has set up a page on his site where you can view the original Cronkite-anchored CBS newscast "40 years to the second after it originally happened." Coverage for the lunar landing begins at 4:10 p.m. followed by the first moonwalk (no, not that one) at 10:10 p.m. Kottke credits the real-time replays on other sites like WeChooseTheMoon.org and the ApolloPlus40 Twitterfeed for the inspiration, adding: "I hope that with the old time TV display and poor YouTube quality, you get a small sense of how someone 40 years ago might have experienced it."
