One small blog for man...

Just a small teaser montage of some partially restored footage of the moon landing. It's part of a larger restoration project that will be supposedly completed in September (woohoo) and provide a newly restored high definition video of the entire Apollo 11 moonwalk.

In 1969 the live broadcast was recorded onto tapes as a backup if the live feed failed. But of course those tapes were lost, sure why wouldn't they be.... and a three-year hunt for them was unsuccessful, (must have done a runner with the socks) so engineers were left just with recordings of the TV broadcast to work with, which obviously lost a lot of resolution as they travelled from the Moon to the tv stations.
