Popular Mechanics celebrates the upcoming 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission (http://www.popularmechanics.com/apollo11turns40/), launched July 16, 1969, with an extraordinarily detailed six-part chronology. PM talked to dozens of NASA officials, engineers and scientists who played key roles in the mission at the Kennedy Space Center and Mission Control in Houston, and to the Apollo astronauts–Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins–themselves. Includes dozens of photos and audio and video clips dispersed at appropriate places in the timeline. We also dug up some very interesting Voice of America radio coverage (http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/air_space/4319083.html?series=79) of the mission that has never been broadcast in the United States.
You can find it in the June issue of the magazine, but the online package contains more text and photos and of course the audio and video content. Good stuff!
