Artist's 'Apollo 18' moon mission launching onto Times Square billboards [i]The countdown is on to the launch of Apollo 18 and you're invited to witness it from New York City's Times Square. Beginning at 11:57 p.m. EST on Sunday (March 1), more than a dozen of Time Square's iconic electronic billboards will broadcast the final minutes ticking down to the launch of a towering Saturn V rocket on a historic mission to land astronauts on the moon. Can't be there on Sunday? No problem. The three-minute countdown will be repeat every night throughout the month of March. "Apollo XVIII," created by artist Marco Brambilla, weaves archival footage from real NASA missions with computer-generated imagery to form a countdown to a fictional flight to the moon. It will be shown on Times Square's electronic billboards from 11:57 p.m. to midnight each night in March as part of "Midnight Moment," a presentation by the Times Square Advertising Coalition and Times Square Arts.[/i]
