“The Eagle Has Wings”
The Eagle—Apollo 11’s Lunar Module—has now undocked from Columbia—the Command Module—and is now orbiting the Moon, 2 hours, 16 minutes minutes from landing Armstrong and Aldrin on its surface. This is how it looks from Columbia.
These beautiful images show the Eagle manoeuvring as it leaves Columbia’s arms. Collins’ words: “Fine looking flying machine there.”
Indeed it is.

Waaaaah! I went to lunch and missed stage 8! That's it. I'm not leaving this room for ANY REASON for the next two hours!
Just like 40 years ago :-)
@Major-n0ob: Yeah I've had it open since the post. It's pretty sweet but for those at work or whatevs who can't see it would probably dig a Giz live blog. I know I always enjoy them.

@Skeetz: actually about 2 hours +/-5min, seriously use www.wechoosethemoon.org, its a live blog and audio and gizmodo posted about it
No wonder the freaks think we faked the moon landing. I can see the wires holding this thing up in the photos!
(sarcasm here goes)
wechoosethemoon.org is the best way to watch it
This is wasting so much of my time. I can't stop watching! I thought I'd get some work done today.. seriously this should be live blogged. Maybe just the half hour or so of actually landing?
