NASA Makes Enhanced Moon Landing Tapes Available

NASA, if one remembers, lost the original recordings of the 1969 moon landing tapes and initiated a furious search for them.  The agency recently discovered that the high resolution tapes were wiped.  The broadcasts that appeared on television at the time were very low resolution compared to the originals.  Now, thanks to the magic of computer enhancement, NASA has taken the best quality versions available and run them through the same technology that turns blobs from outer space into breathtaking shots of galaxies.  The results are available on a NASA page here.  Happy 40th anniversary Neil Armstrong, and to the men and women of NASA.  [MG]
