40th Anniversary of Apollo 11
Posted by kenjitak on Thursday, July 16, 2009 9:57 AM
Happy launch day! 40 years ago today Apollo 11 was launched to the moon. Just heard a story on NPR that the original, high quality, video of the first steps on the moon had been erased and the tapes reused, however they found the best video copies available and have enhanced them to much better video quality. Here's the NPR story:

But watch the videos here at NASA's site, use the highest quality. It's so much better than what we saw on tv 40 years ago!

I remember that day, back when every launch was a major event. Thanks for the links.

(Did you know that if you press the enter key after posting a link that it enables it to be highlighted and provide a direct link?)

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
