First Moon Images No Longer Lost in Space
Mankind’s first up-close photos of the lunar landscape have been rescued from four decades of dusty storage. As ap’s Haven Daley reports, they’ve been restored to such a high quality that they rival anything taken by modern cameras. (April 20)
I was 10 when they landed on the moon – I’m 50 now. It’s so sad (in my opinion) that after the Apollo program they just stopped moon research and strarted the stupid shuttle program.
If only they had continued at the same pace, we’d be on Mars by now.
i just stumbled onto this video! my name is rick thomas a video engineer! what you are seeing is quad 2 inch video i have several of these machines and do nothing but video restoration. the only problem is video heads for these machines are very hard to get and soon we will have no source for them
haha sadly this really is no surprise….I can’t wait till my health care is managed by a giant over sized government agency….
lol looks like the obamatrons voted you down a bit…..Orwell, man did he have it right.
I live on Moffett and that is the old McDonald’s. I always wonder what they was doing in there.
That a government agency, in this case NASA, failed to recover and protect this priceless data, but instead a group of concerned private citizens had to take on the task, should serve as a warning to those who would turn over ever more control of our lives to that same government.
I think this video is faked. That doesn’t look like a real McDonald’s to me…
Lunar history taking over American obesity factories? This is an outrage!
the collect way to handle those tapes was to have white cotton gloves yes Gov has never collectly store away important data for future use any cheap location to file away and forgotten about
It’s hard to believe that these historic videos would end up lost somehwhere. Two thumbs-up for the people preserving the footage.
I just cannot believe that these images have been treated so poorly in the past. After all the missions this is all we have left for future generations to see.
Wow…nice pics! , and nice, cushy job…
LOL Its better than McBurgers
McMoons WTF?
Now this is cool. My grandfather was one of the first people to see pictures of the back side of the moon. I hope one day we go on another adventure like the Gemini and Apollo missions did.
