In case anyone is keeping track, the new NSF grant end date is June 30, 2027, after another amendment in September 2026. So... I guess they're keeping hope alive.

The audio of the Apollo 11 crew debrief at least does still exist, because lunarmodule5 managed to get it from NARA.

First tape here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F4oR62Z-io

At this point it could be any mission. We still haven't received the digitized mission control audio from Dr. Hansen at the University of Texas at Dallas. When we get it, we will start (can't wait).

Apollo General Discussion / Apollo 16 IRT
« Last post by nprmatthew on September 08, 2026, 02:18:40 pm »
I read somewhere online that Apollo 16 is next in line for the real time treatment. I cannot recall where I read that, but most likely Reddit.

Is this true?

Thanks for everything!

Thank you. It would be a real big bonus to add the audio recordings, assuming it exists. These is some interesting comments and insight contained within that field. I just recently discovered it!

Unfortunately it’s text only. Interviews were done with the crews many years after each mission and the commentary is the transcripts of those interviews. It would be wonderful to find that source material but I don’t know where it might be.

Hi! I really enjoy this site, thank you for all the effort. I have a quick question about the COMMENTARY field. Is there an audio track that can be turned on or is it only in text format? Thanks in advance!

Apollo 11 Moments of Interest / 112:56:27 Aldrin Discovers a Broken Circuit Breaker

https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=112:56:27 This has been in the news lately due to the pen used to replace the broken switch cap selling at auction. The story got me hunting the transcripts, and here it is.

https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=122:36:35 May be the moment it is pushed in.

https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=123:20:44 Here is Aldrin's report that it is in, and he isn't getting it out if he wanted to.

And https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/?t=111:38:07 is presumably the bumping that knocked it off... :-)
