Nostalgia follow-up

April 27, 2009 Off By Jason

Since the last installment of the Monday Morning Nostalgia Fix talked about the cameras that Pittsburgh-based Westinghouse designed for the Apollo program, it seems only appropriate to show some of the footage those cameras produced.

Incidentally, if you have a spare three weeks to kill, NASA has put online tons of material related to the moon landings, including raw footage, transcripts and original reports.

You can read the original journals kept by flight controllers and astronauts, listen to hours of audio conversations, view high-quality photos and download the technical documents, including operating instructions! It was truly a monumental task to put all of this stuff online, and Mr. MMNF is very grateful to NASA for making it happen.

It almost makes Mr. MMNF happy to pay his taxes!
