Houghy. That's spooky. (Spooky Houghy)
I was just going to post some more about this.
I'm told the footage is the original material as gathered by the team working at the then facility at Honeysuckle Creek. It's apparently much higher quaility than the images broadcast at the time and subsequently dug out of TV archives and shown over and over again.
If I've got this right, the images at the time suffered greatly from being relayed from place to place (compresseion etc) and the original footge shot by the camera was in a more sophisticated form than the TVs (cameras, monitor and TV sets) were capapble of replaying without all the ghosting and grain we've come to associate with the moon landing and other Apollo footage. Something to do with the astro camera's higher frame rate etc
Anyway, it looks better. Much better. Also, I'm lead to believe there's a fair amount of previously unseen footage. Unseen even by NASA, up until now.
For us astronuts... kind of like finding old Beatles recordings tucked away in the bottom of the cupboard!
Stay tuned. More details as they come to hand. This is your Canberra correspondant signing off .... back to you ... Mr Cronkite
