It was supposed to be a “giant step for mankind” when US Astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon on July 20, 1969. Unfortunately, the only video to record that milestone of an event was erased by NASA.
Fortunately, Hollywood came to the rescue and the video footage of man landing on the moon was revived.
From the same studio wizards who restored “Casablanca,” the video of the Apollo 11 and Armstrong on the moon was even digitally sharpened, cleaning up the ghostly and grainy footage of the moon landing, making it even better than what the was viewed on TV 40 years ago.
The reproduction of the video was done from four copies that NASA scrounged from around the globe.
