Slideshow: "We Chose To Go To The Moon..."

I've always been interested in the early days of space exploration -- my father worked on some of the programming for one of the early Mars probes, and he instilled in me a fascination for NASA and space exploration in general. So when I found this slideshow, with some highlights of the first orbital and lunar missions, I just had to share.


Sadly, I can't seem to directly link to it -- it's a javascript pop-up window. But if you'll point your browsers here, scroll about three-quarters of the way down and look in the right-hand column for the image above and the title "We chose to go to the moon", you'll find it.

At first it seems to be your standard pop-up slideshow, but I liked the optional feature at the bottom -- playing a short audio clip, where a narrator gave some more background to the image. True, the guy's a little dry, but I didn't know that you could *do* that with slideshows! It was neat, and took up far too much time listening to it.

Also -- since this class is "Writing and *Editing* for the Web" -- spot the huge whoopsie in this slideshow. G'wan.

Enjoy!
