CCTV confirms launch 1:30 am Monday China time, which implies ESA got it wrong, and we should use Leonard David's times (above) for this afternoon.

I wish I could add some solid information about upcoming events, but in its absence here's an historical oddity. Buzz Aldrin, Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit on the day he landed on the Moon: A tad OT, but in reference to the above. In the early 80's, a member of my local (Australia) Astro club, purchased and shared the video... 'The Greatest Film Ever Made' which detailed the flight of Apollo 11. Can't find it on the usual sites. Any ideas? |

3rd stage shut down on time, now enters orbital coast period for a minute or so, then due to re-ignite for trans-lunar phase..
