You’ve heard by now that it’s the 50th anniversary of the first humans landing on the Moon. On July 20, 1969, 50 years ago today, Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon and went for a little walk. For the 11th year in a row, you can watch the original CBS News coverage of Walter Cronkite reporting on the Moon landing and the first Moon walk on a small B&W television, synced to the present-day time.

Just open this page in your browser today, July 20th, and the coverage will start playing at the proper time. Here’s the schedule (all times EDT):

4:10:30 pm: Moon landing broadcast starts

4:17:40 pm: Lunar module lands on the Moon

4:20:15 pm – 10:51:26 pm: Break in coverage

10:51:27 pm: Moon walk broadcast starts

10:56:15 pm: First step on Moon

I wish my stepson was in town so he could watch this with me.
