We Choose The Moon
WeChooseTheMoon.org is a real-time interactive re-creation of the historic Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. The 4-day mission features 102 hours of live audio transmissions between the astronauts and Houston, over 450 photos and videos from the NASA and JFK Library archives, and full 3d animation to accompany 11 key moments along the way.
We also took 650 pieces of mission dialogue from the audio transcripts and tweeted them out over twitter in real time, exactly 40 years after they were said, with separate feeds for the command module, Eagle, and mission control.
The live portion of the site ended on the afternoon of July 20th, so the site is now in self-guided mode, allowing you to re-live the mission at your own pace.
We Choose The Moon was the most awarded campaign worldwide in any medium in 2010, taking 43 international honors for websites, live events and digital design, including FWA Site of the Year.
Interactive and animation production by the inimitable Domani Studios. Music during the epilogue/return to Earth by our friends at Hum.
