Thanks to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and the talented folks at Arizona State University in Tempe you can take a video freefall of Apollo 11's landing site, Tranquility Base.

Very small details of Tranquility Base can be discerned. The footpads of the Lunar Module are clearly discernible, components of the Early Apollo Science Experiments Package (EASEP) are easily seen, boulders from West crater lying on the surface to the east stand out, and the many small craters that cover the Moon are visible to the southeast.

This new video is titled High Noon at Tranquility Base and can be found here:
