Great idea and I look forward to watching. Just one nit pick. The photo you have posted, if my eyes are working properly, shows the lunar rover vehicle parked in front of the LEM. The photo therefore cannot be from the first landing, Apollo 11, because they didn't take the rover to the moon until Apollo 15, two years later.
