DARPA recently announced a site that aggregates video, audio (with transcripts) and photos of the Apollo 11 mission into a single pane of glass. You can scrub to any point in the timeline. You can even listen to specific audio tracks in real time. If you want to just hear what the flight surgeon was saying during the mission, for example, you can just isolate his channel.
From the site:
It includes 2,000 photographs, 11,000 hours of Mission Control audio, 240 hours of space-to-ground audio, all onboard recorder audio, 15,000 searchable utterances, post-mission commentary, and astromaterials sample data. The centerpiece of the website is 11,000 hours of Mission Control audio that has been synced to mission time. For any moment in the mission, visitors can open a panel that exposes 50 channels of audio covering every controller position in Mission Control and several other communication loops.
It’s very cool.

Here’s what it looks like:

This is definitely awesome–and perhaps awful as well, in the original sense of the word: full of awe. I teared up a little at the launch.
That is very super-keen, kewl, and possibly awesome as well!
Neato!
