Clever Earthlings

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landings, the JFK Presidential Library has set up three Twitter feeds that are "tweeting" the exact words spoken during that famous mission, at the exact times...well, plus 40 years.

The three feeds are:

AP11_CAPCOM - All dialog spoken by Mission Command.

AP11_SPACECRAFT - Dialog spoken by the astronauts in the capsule, and

AP11_EAGLE - Dialog from Neil and Buzz when they are in the LM.

It's very cool to follow. I have my iPhone app Tweetdeck set up so these three feeds are mixed together in a group. Here's a sample of the dialog from this morning's "launch"...

These feeds will be live throughout the rest of the mission. You can also follow along at this site:
