Question: Why won't this NASA site work?

Any idea why this NASA site won't work in Firefox or IE?

I just get Armstrong, then the planets, but I can't click the past, today or future links...you would have thought NASA would sort things like this out - it's hardly, erm, rocket science..

Apparently NASA has no vision?

I don't know what the problem is, but since that page is entirely Flash, it's unlikely to be browser-dependent... which makes me wonder how they missed its utter lack of functionality.

Fortunately, this other Flash page seems to have the same content.

It works fine for me in Firefox on Mac OS 10.4.2.

Works for me too, Firefox and XP. Is your flash up to date perhaps?

Strangely enough, I didn't get anything for the content areas (Moon past, today future, etc) the first time I pulled up the page, but it worked the second time. Try again? Perhaps it's just loading in the background and there is no loading indicator - the pages do include video.

(Win XP and Firefox)
