Not so much an article about the 50th anniversary, but just the main article about Apollo 11. If you are into space stuff, and haven't seen it yet, there were some pretty cool projects going on on Youtube in preparation for the 50th anniversary: - CuriousMarc's restoration series of an actual ACG [0] - Applied Science made a replica DSKY electroluminescent glass panel display [1] - Project Egress: A maker collaboration on building a replica of the Apollo 11 door (Adam Savage, Jimmy Diresta, This old tony, Blondihacks, etc) [2] [0] [LINK] [1] [VIDEO] [2] [LINK]

It has been done a few times, but I doubt there would be any kind of market for it. [LINK] Electroluminescent glass panels on the other hand... [VIDEO]

So cool I'm going to have to go play with the PDP-11/15 in my basement to get my old hardware jones on. This video of building a custom Apollo electroluminescent glass panel DSKY display is also fantastic! [VIDEO]
