History Goes High(er) Def

Evidently NASA is expected to release newly found footage of the Apollo 11 moon landing. This footage is supposed to be clearer and higher quality than the newsreel footage that has been shown for the past forty years. The footage we all have seen is apparently from a 16mm camera pointed at NASA's main screen, recording the images sent from the moon (government funded video piracy? bootlegging? I'll bet the guy with the camera even snuck in his own snacks, not bothering to pay at the concession stand). This "new" footage is apparently from the original signal, which was thought to be lost.

Neat.
