Today, Games2Win will launch “Apollo 11: Mission to the Moon” – a free online game that recreates the first manned mission to land on the moon and the four critical stages that made Apollo 11 a successful mission.

The game is a wonderful way to celebrate this historic moment in a modern, connected way.

In addition to the game, the company is also launching a Facebook application, available at http://apps.facebook.com/apollomission/, that lets players challenge their friends in quests to the moon, recreating the space race between the USA and Russia.

The experience can be taken off-line as well, with a paper model rocket design of Apollo 11 that can be downloaded, printed, cut and built into a real-life memento.

An interactive press release with images, video and links to the game page, rocket model and Facebook application can be found here: http://www.games2win.com/pr/2008-09/apollo_11/apollo_11.html
