http://twitter.com/historyreplayed<p>In December I came up with the idea of replaying events from history synchronized with their original timeline. With Pyramid and Tweepy, it took roughly an hour and a half to write an admin and the tweet bot.<p>Challenger's stream runs Jan 22 through Jan 28 is in progress and has been condensed, so, don't worry about getting 97 tweets in 72 seconds. If you're able to follow the stream live on Jan 28th 16:38 UTC, it is rather eerie - especially if you watched the launch live in 1986.<p>Apollo 14's tweetstream starts Jan 30 is 295 events over 10 days and was the mission that Apollo 13 should have been. Apollo 13 runs Apr 10-Apr 17.<p>The same engine powers pearljamalive.com's first three year replay of events.<p>While requesting information from NASA and to get their blessing, an email sent at 11pm to one of the NASA historians resulted in a fairly interesting conversation with four people, each of which had been involved in over half of the lunar landings. Names I had read about as a kid and recognized almost immediately as the email came in with other names cc'ed. For a few days, I was conversing with people that made lunar landings possible, had written the books on lunar colonization and working on the moon, and, were responsible for many of the missions. That alone made the project worthwhile.
