Adam Rutherford showed this video at the Uncaged Monkeys show this evening. It made me cry. It is amazing.
As an aside, he said that when he approached NASA to get hold of the films, they granted him access to over a hundred hours of footage - most of which was stored on VHS. Having seen how much degradation has happened to my Dad's photographic slides over the past 50 years it is little wonder that some of the footage from the early missions 30 years ago is a little degraded.
