40 years ago today at 6:32 AM CDT Apollo 11 lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center on it's way to the Moon. NASA began streaming the air to ground communications of the Apollo 11 mission at 6:32 CDT this morning and will continue streaming the entire mission. Apollo 11's LEM, "Eagle", landed on the moon at 20:17 Zulu (15:17 EST) on July 20th 1969. So try to log on to the NASA stream at 15:00 EST on Monday and listen to to the thrill ride that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had.

Armstrong: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." — Capcom Charles Duke: "Roger, Twan... [correcting himself] Tranquility. We copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot."
