SALT LAKE CITY — Have you ever wondered what it would've been like to be in the spacecraft that first landed on the moon?

All images snapped by astronauts during NASA's Apollo missions are now available online, including candid shots of astronauts inside their spacecrafts and on the moon. In total, more than 8,400 photos were uploaded to Flickr in their original unprocessed format by Project Apollo Archive, which was started by space enthusiast Kipp Teague in 1999.

The release of the photos comes close to the anniversary of the first manned Apollo mission. Apollo 7 launched on Oct. 11, 1968, carrying commander Walter Schirra, command service module pilot Donn F. Eisele and lunar module pilot R. Walter Cunningham into space. The test flight lasted 10 days and 20 hours.

We've compiled a photo gallery to give readers a taste of what is included in the impressive compilation. The entire collection can be found on Flickr.
