Celebrate Apollo 11 Moon Landing With Restored NASA Videos
In case it slipped your mind, the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing is coming up in a few days (it took place on July 20, 1969). To celebrate, NASA collaborated with Lowry Digital to restore the classic footage shot on the moon on that fateful day. Back in the '60s, founder John Lowry was responsible for the filming taking place on that mission, and his company is now responsible for most of the great DVD and Blu-ray transfers in your collection -- as well as restorations of many cinema classics.
The first round of re-mastered videos show the iconic shots of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin bouncing around the moon in their bulky spacesuits. The rest of the footage is slated for completion later this year. If you like the video above, you can peruse the rest of the collection on NASA's Web site -- complete with side-by-side comparisons of the old and newly-restored footage.
This just begs for a pile of YouTube keyboard-cat-in-space remixes. [From: BoingBoing Gadgets]

With photoshop, you can make a shirt on the back of a chair look like the Kaiser on roller skates.

Michael jackson did a much better Moon Walk.
Seriously, ladies and germs, if you look closely at the horizon (behind the space module) ...about two seconds you can see what looks like the gates to the Universal Movie Studios in LA!!!
