New Moon Landing Footage Digitally Re-Mastered
And now, thanks to new technology, the original footage taken by astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin in 1969 has been turned into a high definition video, complete with sound.
With help from NASA, Canadian astronaut aficionado Robert Godwin used digital technology to transfer the 16mm film clips to high definition DVD and Blu-Ray Disc. He also took separate audio and synched it up to the video.
“What we have here is the first high-definition transfer of the first colour pictures taken on the moon,” says Godwin.
