Man on the moon, on screen
By Maggie Holland in Editorial
Posted in Science on
It’s hard not to get quite excited about all the reminiscing and celebrations focused on the 40th anniversary of the first moon landings.
Some of us are just that little bit too young to remember them happening, while others were born many years after the event and only have archived footage and Wikipedia entries to help shape their opinion.
Now the man behind the first official NASA documentary charting the 1969 Apollo 11 mission has re-released his work. Dubbed Moonwalk One, the director’s cut, Theo Kamecke’s film has been restored to deliver HD-like film and sound quality.
The video can be viewed below.
In our Man on the moon feature, we look at the technology that was around back in 1969 and how it compares to the space tech we have today.
