A couple of interesting web sites help you explore the Apollo 11 flight to the moon. The first is "Google Earth 5.0 (if you already have it, no upgrade is required). Just click the planet button on the top toolbar of Google Earth, and choose Moon. You'll be flown to the Moon, at which point you have all the same usual Google Earth controls -- drag your mouse on the globe to fly around, and use the Layers panel in the lower-left corner to discover content. Double-click any Layers item to fly to it." (taken from Google Lat Long Blog)
Another interesting site is We Choose the Moon . This new web site from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum allows you to follow the Apollo 11 flight in real time.
(Both of these sites require a relatively recent computer and a robust internet connection.)
