Apollo Remastered

Description

The definitive photographic record of all the Apollo missions, and a mesmerizing, high-definition journey into the unknown.

In a frozen vault in Houston sits the original NASA photographic film of the Apollo missions. For half a century, almost every image of the Moon landings publicly available was produced from a lower-quality copy of these originals.

Now we can view them as never before. Expert image restorer Andy Saunders has taken newly available digital scans and, applying painstaking care and cutting-edge enhancement techniques, he has created the highest quality Apollo photographs ever produced. Never-before-seen spacewalks and crystal-clear portraits of astronauts in their spacecraft, along with startling new visions of the Earth and the Moon, offer astounding new insight into one of our greatest endeavours.

Just incredible. I have personally checked the images in the book, and if you want to know what it was really like on the Apollo missions, then this is for you – Walter Cunningham, Apollo 7
