How to read the transaction of a block?

How to read the transaction of a block?

Given this example block (it's the genesis block by the way):

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

I split it up as described here:

01000000                                                          // Version
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000  // Hash Previous Block
3ba3edfd7a7b12b27ac72c3e67768f617fc81bc3888a51323a9fb8aa4b1e5e4a  // Merkle Root
29ab5f49                                                          // Time
ffff001d                                                          // Difficulty
1dac2b7c                                                          // Nonce
01                                                                // Number of Transactions
 Tx1:
 01000000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ffffffff4d04ffff001d0104455468652054696d65732030332f4a616e2f32303039204368616e63656c6c6f72206f6e206272696e6b206f66207365636f6e64206261696c6f757420666f722062616e6b73ffffffff0100f2052a01000000434104678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4cef38c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d578a4c702b6bf11d5fac00000000

But how is the transaction Tx1 (in this case) readable? Obviously, it's not a default english clear text. How can I decode it so that I recognize that Satoshi Nakamoto sent 50 BTC as a coin base transaction in this transaction Tx1 for example?
