Coolest Website Ever?

I had kind of forgotten that this summer marks the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, until I ran across what may be the coolest website ever. Well, maybe not, but it's a lot of fun. It's a real-time countdown of the entire mission, exactly 40 years after the fact. As I'm writing this on Monday, July 13, the mission countdown clock shows just under 65 hours until launch, and there's a pretty realistic looking graphic of the Apollo 11 rocket sitting on the launch pad. It's mesmerizing and I'm going to be checking it often in the next few days.

You can find the website here.
