I love the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, but I was staggered when I came across

https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/

(plays mission audio in real time accompanied by Video and the transcripts of the comms, highlighting which of the mission control channels are active. The landing itself is awe-inspiring - skip forward to 102:27:57 - 'go for powered descent')

I discovered this during the anniversary. I played it non-stop from start to finish. What a treasure.

Dumb question, how do you fast forward it on mobile?

Interesting that there's an entry for Apollo 13 as well, although the page (unsurprisingly) doesn't contain a surface journal: https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/a13/a13.html

From the Apollo 12 journal, Alan Bean is directing Pete Conrad out of the hatch for the first time from the interior of the lunar lander.

> 115:16:39 Bean: Doing good. You're headed right square out the hatch. You'll have to bend over more, though. (Pause) Wait. Wait. Wait. Oops. Come forward a little. Move to your right, you're...There you are. Now go. You were getting that little... (Pause) You got to kneel down a little more. (Pause) Well, I'll push you (down) if you don't mind. (Pause)

I had never made the analogy to a child leaving the womb before I read this.
