BOSTON (AP) - The first moon landing 40 years ago was an inspiring event and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum hopes it can be again.
A new Web site commemorating the moon mission and Kennedy's push to land Americans there first will allow visitors to watch the Apollo 11 mission recreated in real time on the Web, but 40 years later.
The Web site - WeChooseTheMoon.org - goes live at 8:02 a.m. Thursday, 90 minutes before the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Thomas Putnam, director of the JFK Library says the main goal is to offer people a chance to again experience the excitement of the moon mission. Putnam also says he hopes it inspires people to tackle the tough issues facing the country today, such as global warming or poverty.
